The player can pick one character, while the second is picked automatically, the first one being player-controlled and the second one being computer-controlled. The player starts out playing as Lars Alexandersson being the player-controlled character and Alisa Bosconovitch being the computer-controlled character. As the game is played through, more and more characters will be unlocked for the player to choose. In some parts of the stages, weapons like lead pipes, flame throwers and Gatling guns can be picked up and used.
