Gameplay is divided in two phases: overworld and battles. On the overworld, players control a human [[Medarotter]] from an overhead view where they can move around, talk to NPCs, interact with objects and manage their Medarot roster. Stories are typically linear in nature, although the games often incorporate sidequests and earlier installments include hidden romancing mechanics where the player can end up between one of two women based on their actions and dialogue options selected throughout the game, with different events and parts rewarded for their choices. | ||
Most Medarot games are released in dual [[Kabuto]] and [[Kuwagata]] versions, with their own starter robots and set of parts and medals.

Players are encouraged to trade with players owning the other version to be able to acquire a full set of parts, and early releases also had supplemental Parts Collections games, short plot-light sidegames that provide an alternate way to collect all parts for their parent titles. | Most Medarot games are released in dual [[Kabuto]] and [[Kuwagata]] versions, with their own starter robots and set of parts and medals.
