The gameplay of Isolated Warrior is quite non-standard, as the camera view of the character is not presented as a normal platformer from the side, but with an isometric projection, i.e. from the side above. The main character has a large arsenal of various weapons, which can be upgraded by knocking out the enemy bonuses. In addition to hiking, you can also ride a motorcycle or a hovercraft. At the end of each level, and sometimes in the middle, the player is waiting for a battle with the boss. The enemies are a variety of alien creatures that can, crawl, fly, spit acid, etc..
The game has a save-and-forget feature that allows the player to keep up with the progress of the game.
The game has a function of saving progress with passwords. During the game and between levels, beautiful screensavers are displayed with Captain Maverick's thoughts about his past life and various reflections.
