The game uses a top-down perspective and single-player progression through a series of combat zones. The player moves freely in eight directions, fires continuously, and clears waves of infantry, vehicles, turrets, and elite foes. Stages are built around constant pressure, with weapons, power-ups, and score items appearing along the route. Boss fights punctuate the campaign, and surviving depends on positioning, quick target prioritization, and efficient use of firepower.
Total Carnage is a top-down run-and-gun shooter developed and published by Midway for the Atari Jaguar in 1995. Players guide a commando through war-torn battlefields filled with swarms of enemies, heavy weaponry, and dark comic excess. Often regarded as a spiritual successor to Smash TV, it is remembered for its frantic arcade action, over-the-top violence, and punishing difficulty.

Keep moving at all times to avoid being pinned down by crossfire. Focus on long-range threats first, especially turrets and heavy units, before cleaning up nearby enemies. When you pick up a weapon upgrade, use it immediately to clear space rather than saving it for later. During boss encounters, circle the arena and attack during openings instead of standing still.
