The gameplay revolves around moving forward and blasting enemy mechs and buildings, which rewards money that can be used to upgrade the mech. Mech customization is comprehensive and allows for many changes and parts to be added.
The single-player content is intertwined with the multiplayer component: clan fights over a persistent map. The player can create their own clan or join an existing one from the start, and every action, whether it's solving single-player missions or participating in co-op/competitive fights with clan mates, earns team points. These points are required to challenge another clan for their territory.
