The game uses side-scrolling run-and-gun gameplay with single-player control. You move forward, fire your main weapon, throw explosives, and dodge enemy bullets and traps while pushing through each stage. Weapon parts appear throughout the levels; collecting the required pieces assembles the Heavy Barrel super-weapon and greatly boosts offensive power. Stages mix infantry, turrets, vehicles, and boss fights, so success depends on balancing movement, targeting, and item collection.

Strategy
Destroy fixed gun emplacements and spawning points early so they do not keep overwhelming you. Try to complete the Heavy Barrel assembly before major boss encounters, as the burst damage helps a lot. Do not stand still in narrow corridors; reposition first, then fire. When enemy fire thickens, prioritize survival over aggressive damage.
