Pilot your way through hostile environments, upgrading your weapons systems, racing against the clock, overcoming interactive obstacles and seeking out the hidden ‘gems’ you require to take your Rig to the next level.

The goal of the single player game is to collect all of the gems in a level, while destroying or avoiding enemies, ultimately reaching the end exit. There are 42 Levels (Plus 15 levels for Playstation two player) featuring jump ramps, elevators, sky ways, trenches, movable blocks and push rods. There are also 20 weapon power-ups, viruses and Dolby Surround sound.

Assault Rigs also has the capability to utilize the Playstation Serial Link Cable, enabling two players with two playstations to play head-to-head with full screens. A unique feature of the Serial link cable usage is that there are 15 additional levels that are only available for play using the cable.

[i]In the Saturn version of Assault Rigs, all of the levels were the same as the Playstation 1 and PC versions physically but they were given different names. For example, the 1st level is called Practice and the 2nd is called Four Rooms on the Sega Saturn version.[/]i]
