After a collision leaves a spacecraft damaged and infested with aliens, players take the role of engineer Conrad, fighting through the ship and trying to restore its systems.
Combat uses a top-down, twin-stick format: move and aim independently while using different weapons against alien swarms. Missions send players through connected ship corridors to activate consoles, find access items, and clear blocked routes.
The five-environment campaign includes weapon and equipment upgrades bought with collected credits. Players can also replay completed missions in a score-focused free-play mode or tackle three co-op maps with another player.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its straightforward top-down shooting, tense spaceship atmosphere, and satisfying weapons, with some also valuing co-op play. Others find the repeated console-and-repair objectives and backtracking wearisome, and criticize the camera or frequent screen-shaking explosions.
