Players take control of either Nadia, a young American swordswoman or Ignatius, a staff-wielding monk and traverse 19th century London to defeat the evil Adam Crowley, a fictionalized version of Aleister Crowley. Crowley is a member of the Brotherhood of Hecate, whose headquarters are located in London. Obsessed with creating a race of insanely-powerful and impervious humans, Crowley and the Brotherhood concocted a mysterious amalgam of unknown ingredients. The mixture, however, had detrimental effects. Instead of empowering humans, it grossly disfigured them, yielding horrifying results. Crowley became obsessed with ruling the world so he unleashed these "nightmare creatures" into the streets of London. Ultimately, this led to the Great Fire of 1834.

Enemies in the game include zombies, werewolves, giant spiders, dog-sized rats, hellhounds, ogres, and imps, in addition to bosses such as a Yeti, a four-headed fire-breathing serpent, and Crowley himself. Secondary weapons such as pistols, mines, fire bombs, and magic spells can be used in addition to each character's primary weapon. The game features an adrenaline bar which causes health to be lost if it runs out, and players are forced to continuously seek out and win battles to keep the adrenaline bar full.
