This leads to many different types of endings, including many joke endings where the game ends prematurely. The game uses a story that is told over the course of several playthroughs, sometimes retelling moments but with another protagonist, or experiencing events before or after the main story. It is also often possible to hack opponents, which is presented as a different type of shooter mini-game. Next to the main gameplay there are many flying shooter sections often involving 'bullet hell' environments. Plug-in chips can be sold or fused for a price, making them stronger but often at the cost of additional storage. There are also various support items and shows where items can be sold and bought. Weapons and pods can be upgraded multiple times when the needed materials have been gathered. RPG elements include various quests of which many are optional and an experience based leveling system where enemies generally level up to match the player's character level. A character may have a finite number of chips equipped at once as each one requires an amount of storage, but it is possible to save different configurations and switch on the fly. As robots, the main characters may install plug-in chips in order to grant buffs and other helpful attributes. The character also has a Pod, a flying robot that launches automatic ranged attacks and can use different types of programs. Weapons may be switched during combat to create combo attacks. The active character can use a variety of different attacks, and may use one of four different weapon classes.
