Gameplay

In the menu, the player can choose which warrior to play as, each with different strengths. Gorn is a wave based game; the player has to clear the arena of enemies to progress. At the start of each wave, the player is offered a choice between weapons. Gorn has weapons such as spears, sledgehammers, and crab claws that can be used to dispatch opponents. The game features a dismemberment system, which allows the player to chop a limb off to disable or kill an enemy. Clearing a certain number of waves leads to a boss fight that the player needs to complete to progress. If the player takes damage, the edge of the screen turns red, and if the player doesn't manage to kill an enemy before the screen goes completely red, they have to restart from a checkpoint.
