The game takes place at sea, during World War II, where the player, an American captain, commands allied forces against the axis forces. The game also features a multiplayer mode where players can battle rival players.
There are several different playable ships.

In the beginning the player must choose between 3 different types of upgradeable ships, a destroyer, a battleship, and a submarine. The enemies do not vary if the player chose any of them. They are standard linear enemies.
