The game plays much like other 3D fighters such as Tekken, with the major addition being the so-called "Form Change" system that allows each Rider to transform during battle, and even in the middle of a combo. The main story mode is "Decade Mode", where the player must complete various missions with different characters to proceed through the story. There are also standard Versus, Survival, and Training modes. The game also includes a simple control option for younger players.
