Metal Max Xeno Reborn utilizes traditional turn-based RPG combat mechanics and blends them with strategic positioning and varied enemy types to create a challenging yet rewarding experience. Players will need to plan out their moves carefully in order to maximize their damage output while also keeping their own units safe from harm. The game also features vehicle customization which allows players to upgrade their tanks or other vehicles as they progress throughout the game as well as customizing weapons and armor for each unit.

After all 12 rounds have passed, players can enter the Results Phase which determines whether they were victorious or defeated in battle.
