The game is set where the Commando Elite are trying to eliminate the Gorgonites and destroy their home. Players take the role of Archer, as he battles against the Commando Elite, led by Chip Hazard. The player is equipped with a rapid-fire crossbow, which can receive new ammunition types and which has several accuracies and strengths. Players can use turrets and vehicles.
In multiplayer mode, players can play as either Archer or Chip Hazard. The gameplay is the same as single-player. For Chip Hazard his default weapon is a rapid-fire pistol, which can receive new ammunition types.
There are two game modes in multiplayer mode; frag mode where a player must score five kills before the other player does so and flag Mode; where a player must return all three flags to their base.
The soundtrack for the game was composed by Michael Giacchino.
Game Informer gave the game an overall score of 7.25 out of 10, praising the challenging action and easy puzzles but criticizing the gameplay controls, especially when the player gets stuck on invisible barriers concluding it is "fun, but it's nothing to get excited about."[2]
