The game uses a side-view 2D fighting system with light and heavy attacks, jumping, blocking, and character-specific special moves. On Genesis, players can choose story and versus modes, progressing through a sequence of one-on-one matches against increasingly difficult opponents. Each fighter has different weapon reach, jump arcs, and attack properties, so spacing and timing matter more than raw button mashing.
