How to Play Target Earth
Quick start
Deploy the assault suit, stay near allied units, and advance toward the mission objective while destroying enemy armour and aircraft. Choose weapons during the briefing, watch ammunition and shield levels, and use terrain to limit incoming fire. Some battles occur in low gravity or space, where momentum makes controlled bursts safer than constant movement.
Controls
D-pad: move the assault suit; Up/Down also changes aim in the manual aiming mode. A: fire the selected weapon. B: jump or use thrusters. C: cycle through equipped weapons. Start pauses and opens the status or weapon display as indicated. The Options menu changes between automatic and manual aiming behaviour.
