The game offers two player simultaneous play, taking on the roles of two young broom riding witches – Mark, the blue guy, and Zeal, the red girl. By default, you start with the fire magic, which can be charged up a la R-Type. Defeated enemies drop jewels, occasionally in ornate patterns, which will upgrade your weapon (and provide an end-of-level scoring bonus).
Grabbing enough will increase your weapon level, which will let you charge your magic even higher for stronger attacks.
The fire magic works like an explosive, spreading outwards when it hits a target and inflicting extra damage. You can also switch to lightning magic by grabbing power-ups, which is less powerful but more versatile, as it shoots upwards and downwards, and travels along the scenery.

Much like R-Type‘s Force pod and X-Multiply‘s tentacles, Mystic Riders‘ main gimmick is your broom. The secondary button is devoted to flinging your broom across the screen, which can be aimed in eight directions by pulling away from where you want to throw it. The broom is devastatingly powerful, as it not only hits multiple times but can also nullify enemy fire. By wiggling the joystick up and down, you can also enter a spin maneuver, which makes you temporarily invincible. It only lasts for about a second, plus there’s a very brief cooldown period afterward. It’s also rather risky to execute, because if you aren’t quick enough or blunder into enemy fire before you pull it off, you’ll end up getting killed. Still, it’s extremely powerful from both an offense and a defense perspective.

The game has six levels with increasing difficulty and it loops afterwards at the end.
