You command a customizable squad of fighting robots in turn-based arena battles. Units such as Grabbers, Flippers, and Mortars have different strengths and roles, so choosing a team is part of the strategy.
In combat, you plan moves around unit abilities and team synergies. Online play includes deathmatch and control modes, with maps and ranked leagues; you can also battle AI opponents in daily challenges using preset squads.
Career mode puts you in charge of a team across season-long leagues: buy and sell units, adjust their stats, and seek sponsorships as you develop the squad. You can also customize your commander and arena.
Many supplied reviews mention playing mainly to earn a Rust cosmetic, so they offer little opinion about the game itself. Among reviews focused on its gameplay, players appreciate the tactical squad-building and short, chess-like arena battles, while others find the matches repetitive or the unit progression grindy. Some also report difficulty finding online opponents.
