| Name | Type | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two-on-Two Tag-Team Battles | Core Combat System | Every fight is a two-versus-two arena battle in which the second fighter is a tag partner rather than a mere spectator. | Available in all modes |
| Combo Chains and Aerial Strings | Combat System | Light attacks chain into combo strings, heavy attacks launch opponents and break guards, and both can be woven into aerial juggles with a partner's assist. | Core combat input across all fighters |
| Guard Meter and Guard Break | Combat System | Holding guard absorbs incoming strikes but drains a guard meter, and once that meter empties the fighter is stunned and left wide open for a full punish string. | Core defensive system |
| Substitution and Evasion | Combat System | A dodge or substitution step lets a fighter slip out of an incoming combo at the cost of a limited resource that regenerates over time, creating a constant tension between saving it for a critical escape and burning it for repositioning. | Core defensive and movement system |
| Special Techniques and Finishers | Combat System | Each fighter carries a set of named special moves built from their canon techniques, from Breathing form strikes to Blood Demon Art attacks, and a more expensive ultimate finisher that plays out a cinematic exchange. | Roster-specific movesets |
| Story Mode | Single-Player Mode | The campaign retells the anime's Swordsmith Village and Hashira Training arcs as fully voiced chapters, splitting playtime between cinematic scene direction, arena battles against story opponents and Upper Rank bosses, and short exploration or investigation interludes that put the player in a character's shoes between fights. | Main campaign |
| Local Versus and Online Battles | Multiplayer Mode | Local head-to-head play and online matchmaking with ranked progression, rematches and casual lobbies. | Versus and online modes |
| Training, Missions and Unlockables | Progression System | Practice and mission modes let players learn a fighter's full moveset and combo routes outside of live matches, while story progress, missions and online play earn points spent on unlocking fighters, alternate outfits, audio and production artwork. | Practice, missions, and the in-game shop |
