Combat and Stealth

Blood Message's gameplay is a combat-stealth-survival blend rather than a single-genre action game. NetEase has specifically highlighted the mix of combat with stealth and survival mechanics.

Parkour Traversal

Traversal is a named system in the game's public showcase. Confirmed parkour beats include swinging across a ravine and jumping between ledges. That is part of how the game handles its wider environments; the messenger cannot walk everywhere, and taking the high road often means climbing it.

Environmental Hazards

Combat is not the only threat. Trailer footage shows the messenger and his son caught in a desert battle, surviving an avalanche, working with mysterious characters, and discovering ancient artifacts. The survival layer is about staying alive in a hostile landscape as much as it is about winning fights.
