The player’s character and 3 multiplayers inhabit large ‘mechs’ and have the ability to move about the playing environment.

They are armed with ‘laser swords’ and automatic weapons, both of which can kill an opposing character in one hit or destroy a marauding space ship. When a playable character is hit there is a flash of light and the character disappears. Each character has 15 lives, so it will respawn until its available lives reach zero, at which point it is eliminated from that particular round.
