Code of Princess is a hack and slash game that features multiple game modes and over 50 playable characters. Single-player mode features a story campaign mode with multiple scenarios where you can only play as 4 characters (Solange, Ali, Zozo and Allegro), a "free play" mode that allows you to play any campaign scenario with any available character, and a "Bonus Quests" mode ", which opens up additional scenarios that must be completed with special requirements.
The game also has role-playing game elements: upon completion of a scenario, the player receives experience points, money, and sometimes equipment that can be used on the playable characters. When the character's level increases, the player can freely distribute status points. There is also a multiplayer mode that supports local and online play, where players can play multiple scenarios together or fight each other in Versus mode, with up to 4 fighters per battle.
