As with the original, the game features first-person tank combat against an AI-controlled enemy force, but includes co-operative multiplayer and a campaign structure, together with being designed for virtual reality.

Each hex contains either a battlezone of one of multiple map types, a supply point, a shield generator, or a random event.

Each shield generator destroyed on the map reduces the defences in the final AI core confrontation battlezone.

A post-launch patch added "classic mode", which recreates the original 1980 wireframe vector game in the virtual reality environment.

The Gold Edition added support for non-VR, and included all add-ons previously released as downloadable content.
