Players move through horizontally scrolling stages, defeating mechanical enemies, avoiding hazards, and reaching a boss encounter. The heroes can jump, strike nearby opponents, and use ranged attacks when available.

The campaign is structured as a sequence of action stages with branching or selectable routes in places. Defeated enemies and completed sections lead toward tougher encounters, while two-player mode allows both heroes to fight on screen together.

Use short attacks while staying mobile, because enemies often approach from both sides. Learn the timing of each boss's attack pattern instead of repeatedly attacking at close range.

In two-player mode, divide attention between enemies on opposite sides of the screen and avoid crowding the same target. Preserve ranged attacks for bosses or dangerous groups when possible.
