Black Rock Shooter: The Game is an action RPG in which players take on the role of the eponymous Black Rock Shooter
(BRS for short). The game is divided up into several missions in which
the player must clear objectives to progress. On the main overworld, BRS
can explore the available areas and look for certain items. Battle
begins when the player comes into contact with an enemy on the
overworld. During battle, BRS can aim and shoot with her rock cannon at
enemies, block against attacks and sidestep to avoid them completely. If
the player fires the rock cannon or uses the sidestep too much in a
short time, the system will overheat, leaving the player vulnerable to
attack until it cools down. Throughout the game, players can earn
abilities that can be equipped to BRS and used in battle, each with
their own cooldown periods. These include offensive attacks such as a
powerful blast, a sniper rifle, or support abilities that can increase
BRS' stats such as her attack or defense. Certain sections will also see
BRS ride a motorcycle, in which she can attacks enemies either side of
her or use weapons to fire in front of enemies.
