Players fight their way through 5 stages set in and around the hospital, fighting zombies, hounds, big insects and bats. Most enemies are zombies, some of which carry weapons like axes and guns. Players can dismember zombies by shooting off their head, limbs and even the entire torso causes big blood spurts and an explosion of guts. At the end of each stage there is a boss fight with giant monster, such as tentacled monsters in a bus and a large zombie with a chainsaw for an arm.

The guns have recoil effects and build in speakers for amplified gun sounds. Players can pull the pump back to reload or press the button on the side to shoot grenades.

Grenade 1 throws a normal grenade into the screen, firing grenade 2 cause big on-screen machine guns to mow everything down, using grenade 3 fires a death ray from a satellite from outer space.
