Terra Cresta is a sequel to Moon Cresta, set during an invasion of a heavily defended planet. The player's ship makes repeated passes over the planetary surface, engaging both ground-based turrets and alien forces.
Destroying numbered bases yields power-ups, which offer strategic options. These enhancements can be combined for individual use or activated in a Formation Mode to deploy weapons across a broader firing arc. Each planetary pass concludes with a boss encounter, with the final one requiring the player to have attained maximum power to be defeated.
The game's structure is challenging, as losing a life returns the player to the beginning of that world's stage.
