Fighting Sclash based on samurai laws and intense fights. A single blow in battle can be fatal for both the enemy and the main character. The player will play the role of an experienced samurai who seeks his own death and honor in battles. In battles, management of stamina, breathing and every movement of the ward plays a role.

A quick and accurate strike on an opponent can instantly kill him or disable certain motor functions. Each attack is lightning fast, and a reaction is required to parry and defend. It takes minimal time to think, since artificial intelligence is always ready to attack. Gradually, enemies improve their abilities, and fights become more difficult. The character is not able to perform combinations, only 3 standard actions, such as moving, defending and attacking.

The gameplay features pseudo-3D graphics with a side view. The locations are rich, and the environment is made in the style of Ancient China. As the campaign progresses, the main character fights with skilled craftsmen, and their killing is accompanied by additional videos and cut scenes. The gamer is able to change equipment and customize the appearance of the protagonist, but this will not affect the gameplay.
