The gameplay in ''Rose Guns Days'' is primarily spent on reading the story's narrative and dialogue. The text is accompanied by character sprites over background art made from altered real-world photographs. Throughout gameplay, the player encounters a quick time event minigame of a fist fight battle sequence. The outcome of these minigames does not influence the progression of the story, and the player even has the option to skip them. The minigame has two parts: attack and defense. After the player successfully attacks three times, the player can then perform an overkill attack whose power is determined by the choice of one of six cards. How well the player performs in the minigames determines the total score and emblems awarded, and as the score increases, so does the player's rank, which increases the difficulty of the minigames. Occasionally, the player will be able to choose where a character will go for side stories before progressing the main game.

''Rose Guns Days'' takes place in an alternate history [[Tokyo]] following the end of [[Wikipedia:World War II|World War II]]. On April 1, 1944, Japan was largely destroyed by a natural disaster, bringing an abrupt end to the war. American and Chinese forces occupied Japan and contributed humanitarian aid, eventually causing a mass influx of immigration and cultural influence. The Japanese people became a minority within Japantheir own country and the Japanese language was rarely spoken in favor of English or Chinese.
