Gunhed is a shoot them up with vertical scrolling, which fits in the continuity of previous titles of the same kind of Compile such as Zanac (1986, initially released on MSX) and Power Strike (or Aleste, 1988, on Master System).

The arsenal consists of four main weapons ' Photon Blaster, Power Wave, Field Thunder and Ring Blaster 'that the player must combine with four secondary features: Full Fire (Main weapon improvement), Homing Missiles (add of wired missiles), multi-body (add 'multiple') and Shield (add a shield). The power ups, which make it possible to perfect (and alternate between) all its attributes, have the particularity of being delivered at a frantic pace.

The game includes nine different play areas ' from the space base to the front of the enemy ship, passing through space, the desert area or the ice field' with an intermediate and final bump to each of them.
