The game uses a side-view one-on-one fighting format. Players choose from a roster of characters, each armed with a distinct weapon and unique special moves. Core actions include attacking, jumping, blocking, and executing character-specific techniques. Matches are round-based, and winning advances the player through successive opponents, with some fighters able to trigger especially damaging finishers.

The game features 10 distinct fighters, each with their own weapon, move set, and fatal techniques.
Strategy
Learn each character's weapon range first, then use that reach to control neutral space. Many special attacks have noticeable recovery, so defend after committing to pressure. Against powerful finishers, stay at mid-range and bait unsafe moves to create better counterattack chances.
