The game uses a top-down perspective with room-to-room exploration. Players move through corridors and chambers, eliminating enemies, rescuing hostages, and locating the exit before the timer expires. Characters can fire in multiple directions while advancing, and some versions support two-player co-op. Enemy density rises quickly, so route planning, safe room clearing, and efficient hostage rescue are essential for progress.
