The game uses a top-down perspective with room-to-room exploration. Players move through corridors and chambers, eliminating enemies, rescuing hostages, and locating the exit before the timer expires. Characters can fire in multiple directions while advancing, and some versions support two-player co-op. Enemy density rises quickly, so route planning, safe room clearing, and efficient hostage rescue are essential for progress.

Strategy
Learn the map flow early and avoid wasting time in dead ends. Clear enemies near entrances and exits first so rescue actions do not leave you trapped. In crowded fights, use narrow passages to funnel enemies and reduce incoming attacks. Keep an eye on the timer and prioritize the shortest safe route to the extraction point.
