One player takes on the strategic role of the Tactical Drone, placing defenses and using special abilities, while the other player, in VR, assumes the role of the Robotic Operator and fights enemies directly. The game offers both single player and local co-op options, as well as a chaotic single player mode where players can switch between roles. Players can also buy and upgrade weapons and towers during gameplay.
