The game is a side-scrolling action shooter built around stage progression and form switching. In humanoid form, the Iron Clad can handle precise firing and tighter terrain, while vehicle form emphasizes speed, mobility, and safer movement through heavy enemy fire. Stages feature swarms of small enemies, armed craft, environmental hazards, and large boss fights. Progress is straightforward arcade style, with each stage leading into the next until the final confrontation.

Iron Clad
The player-controlled transforming armor, capable of switching between humanoid and vehicle configurations.
Strategy
Use humanoid form for accuracy in narrow areas and vehicle form when you need speed or a safer escape route. Learn boss attack patterns before committing to damage, and keep moving to avoid being pinned by enemy fire. Clearing weaker enemies first often creates safer space for dealing with larger threats.
