The game is action oriented, focused on sword fighting, sophisticated cutting system to fight and defeat enemies. Besides using high-frequency blade, which is Raiden’s main weapon, he can even wield blades (dagger or a rocket launcher). Players can engage in melee combat with the game’s cutting system as well as slash enemies and objects using the free slicing blade mode. Almost any object can be cut virtually including vehicles and enemies. Cutting elements of the environment like pillars and walls have been intentionally limited to better facilitate the game. With the Blade Mode a special targeting reticule is produced in the form of a transparent blue plane which can also be rotated and moved, tracing orange lines across the surfaces of objects indicating where exactly they will be cut. It can also be used to enter a bullet time state, giving players the opportunity to precisely slash targets during moments of action, such as slicing through a falling target from multiple angles before it hits the ground. These features can be employed strategically, for example disabling opponents, finding weak points and gaps in armour, severing support columns to collapse ceilings or walls onto enemies, deflecting enemy fire, or cutting through objects to remove enemy cover. However, the Blade Mode reduces Raiden's energy to a point that it cannot be used when dropped to a certain level. Raiden’s ability to parry attacks with his back turned also allows him to counterattack enemies while performing multiple moves at the same time. Player also has access to stealth mode - Ninja Dash which drastically increases speed and climbing mode in certain area which also allows strategic enemy ambush without fighting head to head. Zandatsu which involves cutting through enemies and taking parts, energy, ammunition, items and information from the dismembered bodies of cyborgs and robots is also another key feature. Player can apply this mode when attacking an enemy during Blade Mode which also helps Raiden gain energy. In completion of a mission, a specific amount of points is awarded to the payer depending on the performance as well as a grade, with the highest being S.
