This is a third-person shooter in which players use mechanized suits called Javelins to battle monsters, outlaws, and soldiers in a fantastical world. Players use their Javelins to engage in melee combat as well as gunfights. Players use machine guns, pistols, shotguns, rifles, cannons, and explosives to kill enemies in frenetic combat. Battles are highlighted by gunfire, cries/sounds of pain, and explosions. Mild blood-splatter effects are sometimes depicted when characters take damage. During the course of the game, a character can be seen slowly smoking from a pipe (text reads "inhales from pipe."; "Exhales smoke."); the dialogue also contains references to alcohol (e.g., "Amal's made some fancy-pants cocktail with Fortuo Brew."; Too busy being drunk. Or trying to be drunk."; "Crap. I'm low on beer."). The word “sh*t” appears in dialogue.
