Gameplay

Players customize and upgrade individual Tachikoma units, swapping parts to boost their stats, then send them into battles against enemies from the television series and against other players' Tachikomas. Wins earn experience points that level up a player's units, giving the game a monster-collector rhythm closer to a mobile RPG than the earlier Cyber Mission.

Premise

The game has no original storyline of its own. It borrows the roster and iconography of Stand Alone Complex, casting the Tachikomas and their onscreen adversaries as the combatants players manage and pit against each other.
