❤ Weapon and Combat System

Players can choose from six distinct melee weapon types, each with unique movesets and special abilities. The short blade emphasizes quick, agile attacks, while the long blade delivers powerful, sweeping strikes. The buster blade is a massive, slow-swinging weapon capable of breaking through an enemy's defenses. The charge spear allows players to impale foes from a distance, the boost hammer unleashes devastating, earthshaking blows, and the variant scythe combines slicing and piercing attacks. In addition to these melee options, players can equip one of four gun types: the rapid-fire assault gun, the precision-focused sniper, the explosive blast gun, and the close-range shotgun. This combination of melee and ranged attacks creates a dynamic, flexible combat system, encouraging players to strategically mix their attacks to take down powerful monsters.

❤ Blood Arts and Blood Rage

The game introduces two new gameplay mechanics that add depth and variety to the combat. Blood Arts are special powerful abilities that players can equip to their weapon. These Arts provide a range of offensive, defensive, and utility effects, and players can level them up over time to enhance their capabilities. Blood Rage is the game's ultimate ability. When activated, it grants the player a brief period of invincibility and massively increased damage output. However, players must complete a series of on-screen commands within the time limit to successfully trigger the Blood Rage effect. These systems encourage players to carefully consider their equipped abilities and timing in order to overcome challenging encounters.

❤ Customization and Crafting

The game features an extensive customization system, allowing players to personalize their character's appearance as well as their weapon, the God Arc. Players can craft and upgrade their equipment using materials gathered from defeated monsters, providing a high degree of flexibility in building their ideal playstyle. Additionally, the game's "Bullet Editor" lets players create and customize their own unique bullet types, adding various effects and properties. This deep crafting system empowers players to tailor their ranged attacks to their preferences.

❤ Cooperative Gameplay

While the game can be played solo, the cooperative multiplayer is a highlight for many players. Up to four players can team up to take on challenging monster hunts together, coordinating their strategies and abilities for greater success. The camaraderie and teamwork required to overcome the game's tougher encounters is a major draw for fans of the "hunting" genre.
