The game’s combat uses spells that come from Hand Gestures. Kuji-Kiri is the inspiration for these Hand Gestures. When Akito drains enough health of the Visitors, then they will show their Core. The players can then use takedown moves to destroy the Core, killing the spirit. The State of Play did show that the players can get a bow, which they can use to kill the enemies.

Stealth is a possible way of completing a mission. The players can also take down the Visitors in stealth. Other gameplay elements include climbing over the buildings using Tengu Yokai. According to the developers, Tengu Yokai is the fastest way to travel across Tokyo. The players will find some corrupted Torii Gates, which they will have to cleanse. This cleansing will clear out the sinister fogs around the city.
