The game is viewed in an isometric view and features a unique 2-player mode where one player controls the bottom half of the mech to navigate it around the map while the second player controls the upper torso, which moves independently.

In the 31st century, the galaxy is engulfed in a large-scale war fought with heavily armed BattleMechs. The player takes the role of a MechWarrior piloting a Mad Cat Heavy OmniMech, carrying out missions against enemy forces and installations. Operating alone in hostile territory, the player must complete objectives while facing large numbers of defenders. Success depends on navigating combat zones, managing the Mad Cat’s weapons effectively, and surviving sustained attacks. The setting presents a conflict in which defeat can be final, giving each mission a high degree of risk.
