This title is the next part of the Eastern fantasy bullet hell series and moves from vertical-scrolling to side-scrolling gameplay. The Soul Collect system returns, allowing players to graze enemy bullets to charge a gauge. Activating the gauge converts bullets into score pickups and doubles the player multiplier. Players can also use the system to unleash attacks that clear enemies with firepower.

The game includes several modes. Local cooperative play supports two players, while Dual Mode allows single players to swap between two characters. Other modes include Boss Rush Mode and a Music Room for the soundtrack. Difficulty settings range from Novice to Extreme.
