The combination of three game play mechanics is topped up with fierce invading aliens and three different types of tough and heroic troopers. The player is given the command of a brigade poised to take what ever the horde of aliens can throw at them. The goal is simple: Defend the bunker for as long as possible. Boom Brigade features three classes: minigun troopers, shotgun troopers and bazooka troopers. Any combination of classes can be used when assembling the squad.

It's easy to pick up, but reaching the higher boss waves takes some practice," commented game designer Timo Palonen. "I think it's one of the most enjoyable top down shooters to date. We wanted to create a classic game that uses modern controls on Apple's mobile devices." The player controls a bunch of troopers each carrying a weapon of player's choosing: a minigun, a bazooka, or a shotgun. The troopers are controlled by drawing lines on the screen and they fire their weapons automatically at the alien horde. The game starts with one trooper and the reinforcements will be sent in as the pace picks up. The goal is to defend a bunker against the alien horde with an appetite for humans. The longer the player survives, the higher the score. Aliens drop loot which can be used to reinforce the brigade, heal the troops, upgrade the troopers, and repair the bunker.
