Ikari is an action & adventure game where one or two players fight their way through a variety of terrain, such as jungles, rivers, and ruins. Along the way different weapons can be found, including machine guns, grenades, and rocket launchers.
The story follows two special operatives on a mission to stop an alien threat. With no clear objectives, the player must navigate through increasingly difficult levels, fighting off enemy forces and collecting power-ups to aid in their quest.
