This shooter takes place in the Macross II OVA universe. This game puts a unique twist on the shooter genre. Instead of having a certain number of ships, you have unlimited life for each stage. The twist is that each stage has a point total you must achieve to clear it. If you do not rack up the necessary amount of points, the game is over.

Various power-ups transform you between fighter mode and gerwalk mode (no battroid mode that I have found so far). You can also pick up standard missles or homing missles. Each enemy or waves of enemies you destroy causes a coin to appear. Each coin is worth varying amounts of points. To help you rack up even more points, certain parts in each stage can be shot to reveal a bonus items.

There are three levels of difficulty you can choose from; each difficulty level consists of three stages. Each level of difficulty also has the same final, fourth stage bringing the total number of unique stages to ten. You can play a two player co-op game, or you can choose a two player versus game. In the versus game, you select one stage from any of the nine stages; whoever has the most points at the end of the stage is the winner.
