When that happens, he will lose any power-ups he have obtained on his next life. The player will lose a life if he gets shot by the enemy, trampled by bulls, caught in an explosion, ect. Once the final stage has been cleared, the player proceeds through a second loop where the difficulty is set on the hardest level. There are a total of eight stages in the game. In addition, there's a bonus minigame at the end of Stages 2 and 5 where the player must shoot at enemies from a first-person perspective coming from eight different positions before time runs out. While most of the game has the player moving on foot, Stages 2 and 7 both begin with a segment where the player fights against bandits on a horseback. When more than one person are playing, the player who deals the most damage at the boss will be the one awarded with the stage clear bonus. The objective of the game is to reach the end of each stage and defeat the outlaw awaiting at the end. Other weapons that can be used by the player include dynamite sticks carried by female bandits (which can be thrown back at the enemy before it explodes) and a mounted Gatling gun available only in the last stage. Both power-ups can be equipped at the same time. The power-ups comes in the form of a golden sheriff badge that gives the player's weapon auto-fire, and a silver badge that grants him a second gun (allowing him to shoot at two directions at the same time). Power-ups and bonus items can be obtained by entering saloons or defeating certain sack-carrying bandits.

The controls consists of an eight way joystick for moving the character and aiming their guns, and two buttons for shooting and jumping. Steve and Billy wield revolvers, while Bob and Cormano use shotguns.

Sunset Riders can be played by up to two or four players, depending on the version of the game. At the beginning of each stage the player is shown a wanted poster, showing the criminal, the reward for stopping them, and the line 'Wanted dead or alive'. The game, which is set in a fanciful version of the American Old West, revolves around four bounty hunters who are out to claim rewards given for eliminating the most wanted outlaws in the West. Home versions of Sunset Riders were released for the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) in 1992 and for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993. The coin-op version was released in two variants: a 2-player version and a 4-player version. The game is set during the American Old West, where the player takes control of a bounty hunter who is seeking the rewards offered for various criminals. Sunset Riders is a side-scrolling run-and-gun style shoot-'em-up released by Konami as a coin-operated video game in 1991.
