The game is played from a third-person perspective across stages set in streets, museums, graveyards, and underground areas. Dan uses swords, hammers, pistols, shotguns, and other weapons, switching between melee and ranged attacks depending on the enemy. Levels include keys, switches, hidden items, and alternate routes, with environmental puzzles opening new paths. Progress comes from clearing objectives, defeating enemies, and occasionally revisiting earlier areas with new equipment to access secrets.

Learn to alternate between melee and firearms efficiently. Use ranged weapons to thin out dangerous groups before finishing enemies up close to conserve ammunition. Break containers and inspect side areas for ammo, coins, and healing items. Pay attention to elevation changes and suspicious walls, since some secrets require later weapons or a return visit. Before boss fights, refill life bottles and save your strongest weapons for exposed weak points.

Combat and weapon variety are improved over the first game, though the camera can still be awkward at times.
