The game is a third-person battle action game, and features local and online multiplayer functionality, both co-operative and competitive, for up to eight players. The game features a grappling whip that the player can use to zip across the battlefield and pull giant enemies to the ground. Different classes of thorns also grant various special techniques, such as traps, healing, and shields. Players fight alongside androids known as Accessories which provide combat support during missions; the player gives a set of commands to their Accessory that they execute, which include holding a position, collecting materials, or rescuing civilians.

Trivia[]
This is the second original PlayStation property to be released on a Nintendo platform. However, the remaster is not developed nor published by Sony and is instead licensed to Dimps & Bandai Namco Entertainment for release.
This is noted on the box art, where it specifies that it is a property "licensed by Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc."
