Gameplay alternates between Samanosuke fighting in modern day Paris using various weapons, and Jacques fighting in Feudal Japan using an energy whip. Players will also get to control Michelle, who relies on guns. Like the previous games, Samanosuke and Jacques can gain elemental weapons, changing their fighting style and allowing access to magic attacks. If the player collects certain items during the game and completes it, Samanosuke will be able to use his weapons from the first game in the next playthrough.
