Steel Talons brings the arcade helicopter combat simulator to the portable Lynx system. Players pilot an armed attack chopper through a series of missions involving enemy targets, including tanks, aircraft, and ground installations.

The game uses a pseudo-3D perspective to simulate depth and terrain, and includes flight controls such as pitch and throttle, aiming for a balance between simulation and action. The Lynx version maintains key gameplay elements from the arcade original with simplified visuals adapted to the hardware.
