The game uses a third-person chase view for most missions, with the player flying a fighter jet through 18 stages. Objectives include shooting down enemy aircraft, destroying ground targets, escorting allies, and intercepting incoming threats. Controls allow acceleration, deceleration, banking, rolls, machine-gun fire, and missile launches. Mission performance can affect branching paths, so efficient target prioritization and flight management are important for progression.

Strategy
Focus first on high-threat units such as enemy fighters and missile platforms. Use speed control to tighten turns and line up missile shots more reliably. In escort missions, clear attacking aircraft before chasing ground targets. For branching routes, maintain aggressive but controlled play and complete objectives quickly to meet the conditions for alternate paths.

Tips and tricks
- Slow down before turning hard to keep enemies in your sights longer.
- Save missiles for durable or high-value targets and use the machine gun for finishing blows.
