Gameplaywise, players are subjected to play one out of 200 missions, with 20 missions unlocked for the player. In these missions, the player must complete a few objectives given to them. Most of them are based around defending control points, escorts, heists, stealing valuable items/info and all-out fights to the death (traditional FPS stuff, basically.) Like many traditional FPS games, players can unlock cosmetics like skins and weapons, only this time they have an affect on gameplay, with some granting positive and negative effects to the player's character and team. The game currently has three modes, namely an offline mode called Nomad, an online mode called Corvus vs RPD and an arcade mode dubbed Arcade.

The game has recieved positive reviews, with it's praise based around gameplay mechanics, art style, characters and overall story.
