This stylish combat is the core of the game, and the player's performance is scored as progress is made. Vanessa performs her energy drive special attacks with particular flourish, and when idle, she taps her foot to the game's minimalist electronic soundtrack. Vanessa is hired by the mysterious client to inspect and clear an outpost taken over by renegade robots. Receiving instructions via an encrypted communication channel, Vanessa and her client develop a playful relationship.

As she explores the facility, she finds evidence of cloning experiments and gradually learns more of the outpost, as well as the client, whose identity is not revealed until the end. Vanessa must fight legions of robots, clearing them room by room. She is armed with a palm blaster and special moves called energy drives that draw energy from her Aegis Suit. Taking a cue from Capcom's series Street Fighter, the energy drives are initiated with quick commands of the directional pad.

Different suits have different energy drives available. Dodging is perfomed by pressing the shoulder buttons, which causes Vanessa to flip and cartwheel to the side. At the basic level, combat is a system of learning when to time her dodges in between bursts of fire from her suit. Additional evasion techniques include a pirouette move that makes Vanessa briefly invulnerable, and a backwards leap useful for dodging certain enemy attacks.

Aggressive play is rewarded, as dodging reduces the players combo chain, which in turn results in a lower score and less rewards used for purchasing upgrades. The points scored during gameplay can be used to buy new suits, which differ in weapon and shielding statistics as well as the available energy drives, or special attacks. Points can also be spent to improve individual suit statistics such as rate of fire, shielding and energy drive power.

As Vanessa acquires new suits in the game, they become skimpier and more revealing. The most difficult to acquire armor in the game shows a significant amount of skin, but while its attack power is the best in the game, its defense is negligible, and Vanessa can be killed in a single hit.

The game's five primary missions are stages structured as a series of rooms that must be navigated while eliminating the robots within. Each mission also contains at least one boss battle. Between the primary missions, the player may also participate in "Trial Missions," which are randomly generated stages comprised of rooms previously encountered in the game. Schneider dances through it all, grooving to the game's soundtrack as she coolly blasts baddies and avoids laser fire.

One of the more intriguing features of this game is that you earn points during play which can be used in different parts of a level and in between levels to purchase upgrades to your suit, new suits or game continues.

Each of the nine Aegis suits has three upgradeable traits: its defense, offense, and special move strengths. The suits also each have unique special moves, each performed with a different combination of buttons.

To perform a special move you have to have a enough energy in your energy drive. The move itself is probably the most stylized part of a highly stylized game. Once you shoot off a special move, Schneider goes into a sort of ballet-like dance, shooting off arcing lasers in all directions and destroying a screen full of robots. During the move enemy fire has no effect on you.

The controls in the game allow you to run or face Schneider in different directions with the joystick, or dodge left or right with the shoulder buttons.

A shoulder button double-tap makes Schneider do a side flip and she can also do forward and backward flips with the jump button. You can also do a quick about-face with the Z button. This game might be a bit too streamlined and stylized for some, coming off as more simplistic than artistic, but I personally love it.
