The game uses a side-view perspective, with the fighter moving through horizontally scrolling stages. The objective is to survive each stage, destroy enemy formations and mechanical defenses, and defeat a large boss at the end.

Players can move freely around the play area, fire continuously, and change among collected weapons. The stage order is initially flexible, but completing stages leads to later areas and a final confrontation. Power-ups improve the fighter's firepower, while limited lives and intense enemy patterns make survival central to progression.

Learn the opening seconds of each stage before attempting aggressive attacks. Keep the fighter moving, but avoid drifting into the edge of the screen where terrain and enemy fire can limit escape routes.

Choose weapons for the situation rather than holding one indefinitely. Wide shots help against formations, while focused weapons are more useful against bosses and armored targets. Memorize boss patterns and preserve strong weapons for their vulnerable phases.
