GunZ: The Duel is a classic third-person conversational action shooter that emphasizes a highly dynamic vertical combat system, a mix of ranged and melee weapons, and freewheeling acrobatic mechanics. The main feature of the gameplay is the high mobility of the character, achieved by running along walls, dashing through the air, pushing off surfaces and using melee weapons to extend the chain of motion and overcome obstacles.
Combat takes place in isolated arenas, combining gunplay and swordplay with swords or daggers. Gameplay includes various PvP modes (from duels and team battles to tournament matches) and PvE matches, including completing story missions and clearing waves of enemies with the final boss. The character development system is based on the choice of visual customization of equipment, weapons and items that affects the character and style of battlefield combat.
