Players control several different technologically advanced, religious super-soldiers (with four classes distinguishing between the larger number of characters) in a mission to destroy the armies of Neo-Satan, in locations like outer space, Nu Hades, and Hell. There are several weapon sets that the player can select (some unlocked in later levels), including a pistol and sword, a rifle, several spells, and later, large two-handed swords which heal the player with some of the damage done. There are a variety of different missions which have different ways to be completed. Some missions are simply objective-based, requiring the player to reach the end point of the mission, which may be accessed by using buttons or levers to open gates. Others require the rescue of hostages, and some require holding all of certain points on the map, while others are a fight over a certain object. In multiplayer mode, there are the classic games of Capture the Flag, Deathmatch, and Team Deathmatch against other players or the AI.
