Atlantis serves as the battlefield where players man command posts to intercept incoming Gorgon vessels. You must destroy these craft before they fly low enough to damage the city. The arcade-style shooter supports up to two players, allowing for cooperative defense against waves of invaders that use increasingly complex flight patterns.
