The Battle and Tournament modes are also enriched with a modular match configuration tool , offering numerous rules and options which will utterly change the battles' stake and experience. Besides usual presets, players can set their own fine tunings and create totally customized battles . Finally, a solo/co-op Dungeon mode allows players to face hordes of increasingly dangerous bots in order to unlock new environments, sharpen their skills and beat their hi-scores.
