The player plays as an Archangel test pilot Gabriel or Gabby Walker fighting HUMNX. Players control a giant mech known as the Archangel with shields, power ups, and weapons available. Using both twin controllers or a gamepad control, players can fire an array of weapons on each mech arm, or smash enemy units with fists. They would also have to upgrade them by choice, meaning they have to choose one of the weapons upgraded to the mech carefully.
