The game uses a top-down grid map and turn-based tactical combat. Players move units, choose attacks, and target enemy body parts such as the head, arms, or legs, each affecting accuracy, firepower, or mobility when damaged. After battles, units gain experience and money for repairs, parts, and weapons. Progress is mission-based, with varied objectives and team setups across story chapters.
