Gameplay

The game has two different main gameplay modes. In "extermination mode", the game plays much like a 3D third-person shooter, while in "defense mode", the game plays like a 2D sidescroller.

On October 20, 2011, a demo of the game was released on the Japanese PlayStation Network, allowing the first chapter of the game to be played.

The game was released digitally on the PlayStation Network, and physically at retail. The retail version exclusively came with a sixteen-page artbook by character designer Katsumi Enami.
