It's unique and has robot suits in a side scrolling shooter/fighting game.
The way this game combines these 2 elements makes the game feel unique and fun.The game is quite tactical too and will require good skill to dodge lots of enemy projectiles that fill up most of the screen.
During gameplay,the characters(who wear robot suits)can fly around all over the place and they'll do it in a side scrolling style.When the characters are far apart,the game plays like a side scrolling shooter,when you and your opponent are close to eachother,the combat allows melee style combat.
What makes the game tactical is B.O.S.S mode.B.O.S.S mode is when you can make your character transform into a larger machine that's capable of filling most of the screen up with projectile attacks and is capable of doing a lot of damage to your enemy and can even completely take away all of their health if enough of the barrage of projectiles hits your enemy.
B.O.S.S mode can turn the tide of the battle and can help you win a battle when it seemed you were in an almost unwinnable position.But activating B.O.S.S mode involves risk because when you activate B.O.S.S mode it makes your character a much bigger target and easier to hit and your opponent can also do a lot of damage to your character while you're in B.O.S.S mode,but they also need to be skillful enough to dodge the projectiles that nearly fill up the screen too.
B.O.S.S mode can be used as either a last resort or a way to quickly finish off an opponent who's low on health.B.O.S.S mode makes battles unpreditcable and putting off using B.O.S.S mode for too long can result in you losing,even if you were easily beating your opponent but B.O.S.S mode can backfire against you too,so if you're easily beating your opponent and you feel you can beat them without using B.O.S.S mode,maybe you'll be better off not using B.O.S.S mode but you'll want to defeat them before they activate B.O.S.S mode because they could remove most of your health with B.O.S.S mode if you're not able to dodge a lot of your opponent's projectiles successfully.
Another thing that adds more strategy to B.O.S.S mode the sooner you use B.O.S.S mode,the sooner you can use it again,because B.O.S.S mode takes a while to charge up.
Basically B.O.S.S mode made battles more unpredictable and that's a good thing.
The characters have weapons that include a main weapon that can fire rapidly and that weapons has unlimited ammo.Each character also has a more powerful secondry weapon(such as missles that take a few seconds to charge up).
The characters can activate a temporary shielding but these shields take a while to charge up.
The characters all have various strengths and weaknesses due to their robot suits/weapons.The strengths and weaknesses are in relations to fire power and firing rate of main weapon and secondry weapon plus range of their weapons and agility of their robot suit.
Each character has their own story and rivals and they have mini conversations with their rival during battle and this can make the battles feel more fun.
Different characters face different bosses.Some of the bosses are very,very cheap to the point it's unfair.Some of the bosses are huge/long and you have to enter a weak part of the boss before you can damage it and you have limited space to move and some bosses fill the screen with so many projectiles constantly,it's like they're constantly in B.O.S.S mode and you cannot use B.O.S.S mode against bosses.
The environments consist of high above futuristic cities with tall sky scrappers/structures,or being high in the sky,in the dark regions of space or in colorful regions of space that look like you can see nebula clouds in the background.I really like the futuristic look of the city and it made me feel like I was looking at Tokyo 200 years in the future and the colorful regions of space and artstyle of the game are quite beautiful.The characters have are portrayed with an anime style and some of the guys look very metrosexual(which makes them look unique and from a very different time period).The female characters are often cute and can be quite busty.
The story mode ending scenes for one of the characters is so relaxing to watch with the hazy rainfall effects and film noir atmosphere.
The music has great techno sound and the female Japanese voices are very cute.
