Players control the titular hero as he infiltrates an asteroid base to thwart the alien Mekon's plan for galactic domination. Accompanied by the alien Stripey, Dan must explore the asteroid, collect items, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with Treen guards.

Players can throw grenades, engage in close-quarters boxing matches with energy bars, and interact with objects using a caption-based selection system. The ultimate goal is to free the prisoners, sabotage the asteroid's systems, confront the Mekon, and make a daring escape, all while managing limited resources and solving environmental challenges.
