The game uses a top-down vertical scrolling view. Players can switch between three Valkyrie forms: fighter, GERWALK, and battroid, each with different speed, firepower, and handling. Standard shots, charged attacks, and a limited-use bomb support the action. Stages progress through waves of enemies and large boss encounters, with survival depending on movement, form changes, and learning enemy patterns.

Learn enemy spawn points and switch forms before entering cramped areas or heavy fire. Fighter form is best for speed and dodging, while the other forms can be more effective against fixed targets or when precision fire is needed. Against bosses, focus on survival first and punish attack openings instead of staying aggressive at all times.
