The game uses a side-scrolling viewpoint focused on jumping, climbing, sliding, and close-range attacks. Hiryu moves quickly across platforms and fights through enemy soldiers, hazards, and environmental obstacles. Stages are mostly linear, with an emphasis on timing jumps, reading enemy placements, and surviving narrow ledges and trap-heavy areas. Progress is stage-based, with each completed area leading to the next.

Strategy
Learn enemy spawn points and platform spacing before pushing forward aggressively. Use movement to control space, especially in narrow sections where trading hits is costly. When the screen becomes crowded, clear the nearest threats first and keep momentum rather than stopping in place. On difficult jumps, prioritize safe positioning over speed.
