First off, there will be eight player characters, each differing widely in terms of abilities and skills. This greatly out-numbers most games' one or two playable characters. Each character is drawn in an anime style with a unique and futuristic style. Some are snipers, others are lithe hunters, and some are just brutes. Different characters will have different jumping or running skills, special techniques and weapons abilities.
Players can pick characters which suit their style, from quick and stealthy, to slow and punishing.
Also somewhat original is that each player will have only ten slots to carry weapons and items. Players will no longer be able to grab every weapon and powerup on the level before commencing their attack, but will instead have to decide which are most important to completing the task at hand. The graphics engine isn't quite revolutionary, but looks good nonetheless. The engine supports dynamic lighting, allowing for players to duck in the shadows and hide or to sneak up on other players in the darkness. Also, the control is a bit original.
