Even if the story grabs at a lot of straws, it doesn't matter much when it comes to gameplay other than determining which of the six characters you are using. Gameplay is a combination of
Smash TV and
Gauntlet with a bit of
Diablo-style player customization thrown in. Every level is composed of one screen containing a few obstacles and swarms of enemies. The object of each is to destroy a monster generator while navigating the level's obstacles and blowing through every enemy in your path.
Along the way, you'll pick up weapons ranging from machine guns to laser rifles and missile launchers. There's no ammo limit, though after a few shots weapons need to reload, which takes time. As you kill enemies, you'll also earn experience which you can spend on new abilities, like special ammo shots.
