Stellar Blade features combat that focuses on understanding enemy attack patterns and countering with precise timing. Players fill Eve’s Beta Gauge by parrying and evading, which can then be spent on various skills like piercing super armor and interrupting enemy combos. Additionally, Eve can build up a Burst Gauge through successive parries and combos to trigger buffs and powerful attacks.
Using the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller, Stellar Blade incorporates haptic feedback for enhanced immersion during combat and weapon accuracy. The game also offers environmental traversal mechanics such as wall scaling and rope swinging for exploration. Within the overworld, players encounter NPCs offering side quests, providing the option to accept or ignore them. Throughout the world, there are supply camp checkpoints where players can restore health and retrieve stored items. However, using these checkpoints respawns all enemies in the surrounding area, reminiscent of the bonfires in the Dark Souls series or the Meditation Circles in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
