Having played the game a bit more now I have made some progress. I have earned enough money to buy the first set for parts for my bot. It provides a very modest appearance change and an appropriately modest improvement in combat performance.
I have yet to experience two out of the three game types, which are as far as I can tell, deathmatch and some sort of base destruction. Both of these gametypes involve player versus player gameplay whereas the gametype I am playing, Sector, is a cooperative effort by a band of players against computer controlled adversaries.
I am fairly sure that I am not anywhere near well equipped or well leveled enough to do well in the Player versus Player gametype. I also assume that an element of skill will show itself in the more experienced players.

I started this game after hearing about it from my friend. He didn't say much about it so I had no idea what to expect.
First Impressions:
The game has you play a "bot" which you advance in an RPGish fashion. I.e. experience points level you up etc. The game is played in a multiplayer environment with as far as I can tell at this point up to 8 players using a peer to peer hosting setup. Acclaim's servers merely provide match making capabilities.
The gameplay is a somewhat three dimensional intepretation of a standard two dimension side scrolling "beat em up adventure." The other element in the gameplay uses the same system employed by Gunbound and Rakion where defeating opponents (NPCs or other players depending on the gametype) awards currency as well as experience points.
Currency can be used to buy items which enhance and personalize the performance and more importantly, the appearance of your avatar. Like Gunbound and Rakion there are certain items that only "Acclaim Coins" can buy. Acclaim coins are a type of currency that the player may choose to acquire via paying Acclaim real world money. The game is free to play, so this is likely where the profit is made.
