Most of the standard rules of RTS games are still in play in Rivals. When one player fills the meter completely, the missile fires at their opponent’s base, draining half of its health. When one person controls the majority of those areas, a meter fills, arming the missile.

The idea is to destroy the opposing base, but doing that isn’t about raising a big army and laying siege to its buildings, as you would traditional RTS games. When matches start, both players have a base nestled on one side of the screen, with the other player’s base just on the other side.
