In Mega-City, society and law are on the edge of collapse. A new plan has been put in place to bring together court and police duties under one unit: Judge Dredd. The player must complete various objectives throughout each level, including arresting criminals and reaching a destination. Enemies can be taken down using close combat or other weapons with limited ammunition.
The gameplay involves navigating through levels, overcoming obstacles, and taking down enemies. With limited health, the player must carefully plan their moves to avoid defeat. The game requires strategy and quick reflexes as the player progresses through each level. As Judge Dredd, the player must use all skills available to succeed in completing objectives.
