In Amok you pilot a mech-type land crawler that has underwater capabilities. You are armed with various weapons as you take your advanced mech across vast lands, through mountains, and even to the depths of the sea. There are a total of nine missions each with secret areas and a variety of power-ups to collect. Enemies come in all forms for which there are more than 40 different types, including soldiers, sharks, and spiked fish. Two-player action is provided via a split-screen where players can go head-to-head or work together to eliminate the enemy.
