The player must clear levels filled with randomly generated enemies in an unnamed city in order to survive. Items that can upgrade the firepower and defense of the vehicle are hidden in crates. Players must spend as much time outside of the armored unit as they do inside because the mecha fighter is a bigger (but tougher) target. They must also leave the mecha to climb ladders that lead to necessary items and to advance the game's storyline. The game was noted to have a few similarities to Blaster Master.Metal Mech vs Blaster Master at Flying Omelette The "little person" has a virtually identical appearance to Jason in the Blaster Master video game.
