The base game is accessible at no extra cost for subscribers, while optional DLC adds CPU mode, time attack,, and different custom themes, with some of the themes referring to classic Bandai games. The themes are accessible for $2 each, while players can purchase the extra modes in a $15 add-on, or simply get the entirety of the extras for $30.
