Players control a mutant hockey team from a top-down or angled overhead view and attempt to outscore the opposing side before time expires. Passing, shooting, checking, fighting, and positioning are used to create scoring chances and stop attacks.

Matches take place in hazardous arenas rather than ordinary rinks. Environmental dangers and violent encounters can remove players from the action, so survival and tactical risk management matter alongside puck control. The game focuses on individual matches and competitive multiplayer rather than a deep long-term career system.

Protect the puck near the boards and avoid unnecessary fights when you have a scoring advantage. Use passing to draw defenders away from the carrier, then attack open lanes instead of forcing shots through traffic.

Watch the arena hazards as closely as the opposing team. A strong player can still be lost if positioned carelessly, so rotate vulnerable teammates and preserve your best scorers for important possessions.
