This is an action game in which players assume the role of a fox-like character (Ratchet) and his friends as they battle evil forces across dimensions. From a third-person perspective, players explore worlds, interact with characters, and battle stylized robots and aliens. Players use over-sized blasters/ranged weapons, defeating enemies with fiery explosions, lightning, plasma blasts, and other effects (e.g., ice, fire). Players can also use a wrench for melee attacks at close range. Battles can be frenetic with frequent explosions and waves of enemies attacking at once; alien creatures sometimes emit multicolored splatters when hit.
