11 Combat in Edge of Memories takes place in real time. The developers have described the game as an action game and stated that it is not turn-based, and one of their posts calls it a "fast-paced, third-person Action-JRPG". Eline is the only playable character; her allies fight alongside her but cannot be controlled directly.

2224 In the store's words, the transformation leads to "earth-shattering blows, which turn into a series of merciless executions". The Story Trailer frames it as something Eline struggles with, describing "Eline's struggle as she confronts her fearsome Black Beast mode". The game's music also reacts when the mode is active (see Music and Soundtrack). Separately, the store premise says a dark power gives her the ability to control The Corrosion within her own body.
