This is a side-scrolling action game in which players assume the role of Sid Morrow, a special-forces agent tasked with escaping a Russian prison and investigating a mysterious weaponized substance. Players traverse underground environments while using knives, machine guns, flamethrowers, rocket launchers, and chainsaws to stab and slash at enemy guards and boss characters. Sometimes players utilize stealth attacks to stab enemies or slice their throats; enemies groan and cry out in pain before slumping to the ground. Injured characters emit large splashes of blood from their chests and necks, and some levels contain large bloodstains on the floor or walls. Dialogue contains profanity in both English (e.g., "a*s" and "bastard") and Russian (e.g., "f**ker" and "sh*t").
