War of the Roses puts the player in control of a single, customizable soldier fighting for either the House of Lancaster or the House of York. The game plays in a third-person viewpoint and is a multiplayer game.[5][6] There are three different types of weapons which the player can equip at a single time: primary, secondary, and a dagger.
