The game follows mission-based rescue stages. You pilot a helicopter through enemy bases, cities, and desert zones, clearing threats before landing to pick up hostages and returning them to your base. While flying, you must avoid tanks, aircraft, turrets, and missile fire, while also managing fuel and the helicopter's durability. Some stages require multiple trips, and enough rescued hostages must be extracted to clear the mission.

Focus on keeping the helicopter alive before maximizing rescue counts. Clear ground fire around the landing zone before touching down, and avoid landing in tight spaces. When enemy pressure is high, rescue hostages in smaller groups instead of trying to extract everyone at once. Keep an eye on fuel so you are not forced down behind enemy lines.
