Combat in the game is turn-based, and the heroes must be positioned properly as some of their skills cannot be used when they are standing in a wrong spot. As the player explores, they will encounter different locations of interest and roadblocks, and the player will enter combat scenarios. The ultimate goal is to reach a mountain, which is the source of evil that has overtaken the world.

The player can commandeer the stagecoach, which is the primary way of navigating the game’s world. Players can equip these characters with trinkets and combat items. The game features multiple characters, and each of them has their own unique strengths and abilities. Like its predecessor, Darkest Dungeon II is a role-playing video game with roguelike elements.
