The game features a total of 19 levels/missions along with two game modes (mission and survival). In mission mode, one must blast through countless enemies and defeat a boss at the end. Mission mode allows for three lives in each mission. Upon defeating the boss, the player visits the armory, where one can get various upgrades and power-ups for use in subsequent missions. After going through the first nine bosses, the player must destroy the same nine bosses in the remaining nine levels, until the final level. The new bosses are slightly different in weapons and armor. Heavy Weapon Download free Full Version.

Reception
Heavy Weapon generally received good reviews. It has been reviewed to have a very nice presentation with humor and good graphics. The soundtrack has also been praised, as it adds to the game's enjoyment. In the PC version, some have said the controls are difficult at times; however, the Xbox version has been said to have decent controls. The lasting appeal for the game has not been well received, as it gets too repetitive over time. Heavy Weapon Game free Download Full Version.
