Gameplay

The player controls different gears (spaceships, ground combat robots) in subjective view: the screen displays the cockpit of the craft and the main commands are at the bottom of the screen. The player moves in various environments and must complete a series of missions. The missions are introduced by cinematic scenes shot with real actors.
