Steel Talons introduced realistic helicopter combat to arcades and later to home consoles. The gameplay is presented from behind your chopper, with a 3D polygon environment spinning around you, showcasing mountains, rivers, and deserts. The game features 12 missions, each with objectives that must be completed within a time limit. Additional modes include training and a head-to-head battle against a CPU-controlled drone. You're equipped with a limited supply of auto-targeting missiles and a cannon. A tracking map displays your position and the locations of enemies. Colliding with the ground, mountains, or other vehicles will damage or destroy your helicopter.
