The game plays as a side-scrolling stage-based action title. Players move through urban and indoor environments, fighting enemies, avoiding hazards, and advancing to the next area after clearing objectives. Combat mixes punches, kicks, thrown weapons, and special hypnotic abilities. Progression is linear, with item pickups, health management, and occasional tougher encounters that require careful positioning and timing.
