The game uses a top-down, mission-based structure. Each stage typically alternates between preparation and assault, letting players place walls, traps, turrets, and support structures before enemies arrive. During combat, Lock can move around the battlefield, repair damaged defenses, and use special actions to hold the line. Progress depends on efficient fort placement, path control, and surviving repeated waves under pressure.
