You will engage zones, each of which might have a different game mode and different objectives, and you'll be briefed once you're in. You have to flip shields in time to protect yourself, and you can possibly move left and right to avoid some drones. It's a pure reflex game and a brain teaser. Vertigo new Vertigo
