We are left with the ability to teleport freely around the map by targeting the chosen area by sight.
The game is characteristic for its complex combat system. The robots are affected by our attacks and interact with the environment, while the player can make use of numerous spectacular maneuvers, such as throwing enemies or swiping the incoming bullets.
