Summary
Playing on the first level of Metal Mech.

The player controls the driver of a vehicle that is similar to the ED-209 of the RoboCop franchise.[4]

The player must clear levels filled with randomly generated enemies in an unnamed city in order to survive.[4] Items that can upgrade the firepower and defense of the vehicle are hidden in crates.[4] Players must spend as much time outside of the armored unit as they do inside because the mech is a bigger (but tougher) target.[4] They must also leave the mech to climb ladders that lead to needed items and to advance the game's storyline.[4] However, veteran gamers of this genre have noted more than a few similarities to Blaster Master.[5] The "little person" has a virtually identical appearance to Jason in the Blaster Master video game. Controlling the person is easier than controlling the mech.[5] Players have to collect radiation symbols around the city, which was also the main point of Blaster Master.[5]
