The game uses a third-person aerial combat view where players pilot fighter jets through interception, escort, strike, and elimination missions. Each aircraft has performance stats such as speed, maneuverability, radar, and weapon loadout, and can be selected or adjusted between missions. Story progression branches based on mission choices and performance, leading to different routes, allied factions, and endings. Core controls revolve around throttle, braking, cannon fire, missile lock-on, and basic pitch and roll handling.
