''Andro Dunos'' is a scrolling shoot 'em up game reminiscent of ''Hellfire'' and ''Whip Rush'' where players take control of the Neo Type space fighter crafts Yellow Cherry (P1) and Red Fox (P2), which are sent by the defense system of Earth across eight levels that take place on a futuristic sci-fi setting, where an unknown alien race from outer space who have steadily increased their invasion activities against humankind that must be eliminated in order to finish a long lasting war as the main objective. In addition to the single-player mode, the game also features a two-player cooperative multiplayer mode. If a memory card is present, the players are allowed to save their progress and resume into the last stage the game saved at.

''Andro Dunos'' is a space-themed horizontal scrolling shoot 'em up game reminiscent of the games in the ''Thunder Force'' series. Players control the Yellow Cherry (P1) and Red Fox (P2), and are given an arsenal of four different weapons from the start, which the player can switch between on the fly by pressing the B button and are powered up separately, up to four levels. Pressing A fires the currently equipped weapon, while holding down the button charges the weapon to release a powerful blast; however, doing this will cause the weapon to power down by one level.

A notable feature of the game is the ability to choose between four different weapon sets at any given time in a linear order by pressing the B button and they can be increased up to multiple times from their original state, while charging the currently selected weapon with the A button allows the ships to unleash a powerful shot against enemies. However, this strategy is a risky proposition for players, as the weapon decreases its power level down to one, weakening the ship's current firepower as a result. If the player's ship is hit by enemy fire, they will be respawned but with the penalty of decreasing the ship's power to one level before being hit. Once all lives are lost, the game is over unless players insert more credits into the arcade machine to continue playing, which resets the main weapon down to level two and the other three sub-weapons down to the first level as well.
