On the Saturn, ''Skeleton Warriors'' is a side-scrolling action game interspersed with third-person hoverbike segments. The game is presented in "2.5D", in that while most of the action takes place in two dimensions (with pre-rendered 2D sprites), levels are built with 3D geometry. Like a traditional arcade beat-'em-up, progression usually requires defeating set amounts of on-screen enemies without being killed.
