The game follows Ivan as he controls his "Steel Cossack" power suit on three-dimensional battlefields. Players must eliminate Drones and Sentients in each of the five areas to destroy energy field generators and complete missions. The Cossack comes equipped with various weapons, including projectile and energy guns, missiles, and special ammo.
After completing a mission, Ivan can upgrade his Cossack with more powerful weapons and armor upgrades. Between missions, humorous live-action cutscenes continue the story.
