The game is played from a first-person cockpit view. Missions usually require the player to destroy enemy units, reach locations, defend assets, or complete other battlefield objectives before extracting or surviving.

The mech can move through three-dimensional environments, aim weapons independently within the cockpit view, and switch between available systems. Campaign progression advances through a series of missions, with equipment choices influencing how the machine handles different threats. Combat rewards managing distance, cover, ammunition, and the strengths of each weapon rather than firing continuously.

• Study the mission objective before engaging every enemy; some scenarios reward reaching a location or protecting a target rather than total destruction.

• Select weapons to match the expected range and target types. Preserve limited ammunition for heavily armored opponents.

• Use terrain and buildings for cover, keep moving when exposed, and avoid allowing several enemies to attack from different directions.
