Gameplay

The gameplay includes the player strapped inside an assault mech, equipped with laser beams, jump-jets and auto-targeting systems in order to destroy enemy forces.

Trivia

Many of the stages' names seem to be named after songs by the rock band Rush - for example, "Distant Early Warning" and "Subdivisions".
