The game features party-based combat with players utilising a deck of Soulbits to create different attacks. The game is said to feature over 100 Arts and Abilities, with players able to obtain new gear by defeating Dominators. The PC and console releases will feature updated gameplay, including a redesigned horizontal UI and new controller support, as well as new character illustrations from manga-ka Shiro Usasaki.
