Cyber Troopers Virtual On is a competitive mech fighting game for Sega Saturn featuring two players piloting Virtuaroids in various arenas. Players utilize diverse weaponry including guns, explosives, and melee attacks to defeat their opponent across multiple rounds. The game is designed for a two-joystick control scheme, enhancing the combat experience with precise maneuverability and aiming.
Virtual-On is set up similar to a Versus fighting game. Two Virtuaroids (Mecha) face each other on a stage. The player(s) use a variety of firearms, explosives, melee weapons, and other techniques to destroy the enemy for a set number of rounds, usually a single battle, or best two out of three rounds, like fighting games.
The game is made to be played with a two-joystick setup, known as the twin-sticks. Each stick is equipped with a trigger and a button on top of the stick.
