The game uses a third-person 3D perspective, with the player moving a large mech through open battle zones. Core controls cover walking, turning, aiming, firing, and switching weapons, while missions often ask you to destroy structures, protect targets, or eliminate enemy forces. The mech supports a degree of loadout customization, so managing armor, energy, and ammunition matters throughout each stage. Progress is mission-based, with battlefield threats increasing as objectives are completed.
