The 'Survivors' are the remnants of normal mankind that hid in underground bunkers during the first war for the surface. Multiplayer mode allows for connection through LAN (IPX or TCP/IP), serial cable or modem, or a soloplay mode where one can choose between a variety of maps and settings to play a practice game against one or more AI opponents.

Occasionally there can be multiple factions. The campaign mode allows you to play one of three factions, fighting through a triangle-shaped map in order to eradicate all other enemies. There are two methods of gameplay: a campaign mode and a multiplayer mode. Unlike in KKnD, now each faction has buildings that can provide little more resource units at constant rate, helping to gather resources, should there be a shortage of oil or if all oil runs out. Fortifications and turrets can be used to protect a base, as well as making use of natural features such as cliffs or buildings. This is done usually through resource management-oil reserves acting as a power source-and maintaining a base of operations while trying to destroy everything else.

Like other real time strategy games such as the Command and Conquer or Starcraft franchises, the primary objective of the game is to eradicate all other factions on a particular playing map. All three areas provide artifacts from the nuclear war, namely decrepit buildings and polluted water. Gameplay takes place after a worldwide nuclear war, on three map-types over land and water: a barren desert terrain, forest areas, or urban jungles.
