The game allows players to switch between controlling any of the five characters in the party while in battle in the open world. The game features a multiplayer mode allowing up to five players in a world.
== Gameplay ==
Kantai Collection: The Eternal Sea is an open-world action-adventure role-playing game. Players explore the game's large world with many characters and various points of interest spread across the map. The player will have the ability to navigate the world either by foot, using vehicles, or fast-traveling. The game features the ability to control multiple characters within the game's setting also an action combat playstyle that allows the player to swap between 5 individual characters in a party to quickly combo attacks. There is a weapon selection feature in form of a Weapon Wheel, which is similar to the one featured in Grand Theft Auto V by Rockstar Games.
There are many unique features in the game; one being that when the players are playing as any of the 5 individual characters in the party, the other parties are living their independent daily lives, and the player may be surprised by what they find the any of the characters from the other party doing when they switch back into them. Another unique feature is that the party setup swapping feature is executed in a Google Earth-styled manner.
New activities have been added, such as sports, meals, studying, working, cooking, etc. Random events have also been added to the game and can appear anytime as the player explores around the map. The game has the mobile phone feature which is used for calling the player's contacts, surfing the web, and quick saving. Giving people the middle finger is another new feature the certain characters the player control can use while in a vehicle or traversing on sea; depending on where the player is at, they will get varied reactions from pedestrians.
The game introduces the police AI feature. The police can arrest NPC's who commit crimes, even if the player frames them with fake evidence and have them arrested in result. The police will also break up any street fights and respond with lethal force to criminals who are actively shooting at the player or themselves. They can also be seen on patrol more often in the streets, increasing the chances of assisting the player to clear out an area full of enemies, provided that the player does not get involved.
The player is free to drive, steer or fly any vehicle without hindrance due to the game's vast open-world environments. The driving mechanics feel more like a racing game, compared to Grand Theft Auto IV's rocky, boat-like handling system. Additionally, driving has another feature: auto-driving; this enables the driven vehicle to drive itself, or they can disable it in favor of manually driving the vehicle.
