The game also features an innovative "Downed" mechanic, allowing players to recover from the brink of death. The game uses a real-time battle system in the third-person camera view and requires players to "combo" a series of attacks, much like that of fighting games. Players create playable characters that explore around the world by completing quests assigned by various NPCs. Blade & Soul features a combination of martial arts-inspired combat and qinggong in an open-world environment.
