Throughout the game, the player can pick up power-up items such as health replenishments and extensions, a cypher extension, and additional boosts. While in Boost mode, Hiryu can shoot Plasma Waves with his sword for a limited period until the Boost gauge under Hiryu's life gauge runs out. In addition to the Attack and Jump buttons, the player can power-up their character by pressing the "Boost" button if they have at least one Boost item in stock. Added to his regular sword attack, Hiryu can now do a "Savage Slash" technique in mid-air by pressing the joystick down and up in mid-air. When climbing a wall, Hiryu can perform a thrust jump by holding joystick away from the wall and pressing the Jump button.

Hiryu can walk, jump, crouch, slide, and climb walls and ceilings like he would in the original game, as well as dash by pushing the joystick left or right twice, do a double jump by pressing jump in mid-air, and do a backward somersault jump while sliding. Hiryu can now perform new actions in addition to the ones he had in the first game. The controls consists of an eight-way joystick and three action buttons. While the graphics in Strider 2 now consist of 2D character sprites overlaid over 3D backgrounds, its gameplay remains similar to its 2D side-scrolling predecessor.

However, an incarnation of Hiryu, the same Strider who slew the Grandmaster in the past, has also risen to destroy the Grandmaster once and for all. The mysterious Grandmaster has returned to life after his defeat in the original game and has now gained total control over the world some 2,000 years later.
