Remnant 2 is a third-person shooter with a core mechanics of Souls-like games. The enemies will reset every time players rest at the World Stone (Checkpoint) and players will have to do a lot of rolling to evade enemy/boss attacks, a typical souls-like mechanic. However, certain things are unique in Remnant 2 and one of the main ones is the Archetype.

Unlike the regular RPGs out there, players will get to select the Archetype. Archetype is a class with unique Skills, Perks, and a Prime Perk. There are 11 different Archetypes in Remnant 2 which are divided among Starting Archetypes and Secret Archetypes. Players will get to select 1 Archetype from the starting Archetypes after the tutorial of the game and as players progress in the game and increase the Power Level of the selected Archetype to 10, they will get the ability to select a Secondary Archetype. Choosing the Secondary Archetype will grant its skills and perks except for its Prime Perk because it is only reserved for the Primary Archetype.
