The game uses a side-scrolling perspective as players choose one of three mercenary pilots, each tied to a different aircraft and handling profile. During stages, you fire a main weapon, optional armaments, and bombs to defeat air and ground threats while collecting cash from destroyed targets. Between missions, a base shop lets you buy stronger weapons, shields, and aircraft upgrades, creating a loop of sortie, earnings, and reinvestment. Boss battles and dense enemy formations demand careful movement and resource management.

Axel Maverick

One of the selectable pilots, associated with a strong offensive aircraft.

Simpson

One of the selectable pilots, offering a more balanced machine and play style.

Faron

One of the selectable pilots, often suited to more agile or specialized loadouts.

Prioritize main weapon upgrades and survivability early on instead of spending everything on one expensive item. Use bombs to break out of crowding situations and save them for emergencies or tough boss patterns. If you have enough cash before a stage, refill shields or buy a key upgrade first to reduce risk in the next mission.
