Gameplay Systems

Top: Original mode gameplay Middle: 3D mode gameplay Bottom: Virtual mode gameplay The player's anti-ballistic missiles also leave a temporary trail of fire, which destroys enemy missiles caught within range. Each base becomes useless when all of its missiles have been deployed or if it is destroyed by enemy missiles. Other hazards include bomber planes and satellites, as well as smart missiles that can evade the player's missiles. The player can rebuild destroyed cities by reaching certain high scores at the end of each level.

The game offers three modes: "Original", "3D", and "Virtual". Original mode is a recreation of Missile Command , offering graphics and gameplay similar to the arcade original. 3D mode is similar to the original mode but with three-dimensional visuals. Virtual mode departs from the original gameplay by introducing a first-person perspective, power-ups , varied stages and bosses .

In all three game modes, the goal is to defend six cities from incoming missiles by launching anti-ballistic missiles from three bases. The game is set in a country attacked by foreign nations and on a distant planet where alien forces invade human colonies. In Virtual mode, players mainly defend the cities using lasers, with missiles becoming a secondary defense mechanism. Power-up items offer upgrades such as improved lasers, smart bombs, and repairs.

There are three stages in virtual mode, each divided into three waves with a boss encounter. There are also three difficulty levels in virtual mode, however, the game ends after finishing the first stage if played on the easiest difficulty. The game is over once all bases or cities in the stage are destroyed. The game features support for the ProController .

If a Jaguar VR headset is detected, it can be played with in both 3D and Virtual modes.
