Players can now battle in six special arenas and follow the Three Kingdoms story in over 200 quests, some of which are named "Gaiden." They can customize their avatar using Chi, Orbs, Five Elements, and weapons suited to their character. The game uses an RPG style of leveling up, with a stats system for weapons and health, defense, attack, speed, fury, and machine abilities.
The main focus is the "Fury form" or "Awakened mode," which allows characters to glide or fly and face giant creatures. Stages are separated into sections with a short loading screen and emphasize height. Strikeforce now offers new mid-air movesets and the ability to equip a secondary weapon for battle. Equippable Chi and Orb items add an RPG-styled feel to the game.
Players prepare for a Mission in a marketplace with over ten city locations, each with its own academy, workshop, blacksmith, storehouse, shrine, and health-restoring meat buns.
Downloadable content includes new stages for players to experience.
