The gameplay of Reality Fighters takes the classic fighting game mechanics, bringing them to a wider, more mainstream focus.To begin with, the player takes a photo of the face using the front or rear camera. Using face detection technology, the game can then recreate a character with the player's likeness. The game lets players choose gender and body shape, and wear over 400 pieces of clothing. The game also allows players to choose among 15 fight styles, and over 50 weapons. Fight styles, weapons and clothes choice affect gameplay, by unlocking new combos or modifying the damage or armor of specific body parts. For example, a helmet will better protect the head, and a pair of boots will boost kicking ability.
