The demo opens with the prologue, runs through Stage 1 "Coastal Blockade," and closes with one day aboard the mothership after the sortie returns. Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese are supported, all with full voice acting.

Battles play out at the same time on three routes, shallow sea, deep sea, and high altitude, and a single button switches the player between them to reach an ally in danger. Enemies on one route can target allies on another, so the screen is never the whole picture. The full version adds base building, a ten-stage tower defense mode, a roguelite mode across nine worlds, and more than 80 adventure episodes, with play time to the ending estimated at about 8 to 10 hours.
