The game features standard turn-based combat and aerial battles between the player's customizable airship, the Maverick, and enemy airships. One of DS screens is used for gameplay while the other is used to display the players current location on a map. Enemy encounters are random as the player moves through dangerous areas, where players will be given the option to attack an enemy, defend, use an item for beneficial effects, or use special skills unique to each character on each of their turns.
