The gameplay is a first-person shooter. The main difference between Wolfenstein: Young Blood and previous games is the possibility of cooperative play. If the player chooses to play solo, the partner will be controlled by artificial intelligence. The girls have individual abilities that are upgraded as the game progresses. The girls interact with each other using commands such as «add health» or «add armor».
Experience is awarded for killing opponents. Upon reaching a certain number of points, the protagonist’s level increases. There is extensive customization of the heroines’ appearance, including painting and upgrading guns. Ammunition is divided into three classes: light (leicht), medium (gewehr) and heavy (schwer). Some places are impossible to get to, since the opponents have acquired a level system. Enemies that do not match the sisters’ level are marked with a red skull. It is worth returning to them after the girls «grow up» a little. With due skill, it is possible to eliminate them, but it should be taken into account that they cause colossal damage.
The locations have undergone major changes. The creators of Dishonored worked on their design, bringing elements of an immersive sim to the linear action game. From now on, there are several options for completing a mission. The gameplay has acquired additional tasks and the ability to select quests in any order. Some locations are available for repeated playthrough.
There is also a version for online play (on pirated copies). See below.
