Chinomikon utilizes an RPG Maker battle system, albeit with a distinct approach centered around the learning process. The core gameplay involves exploring various locations to find items that are English words associated with that area. Each item provides its pinyin and translation. Once all discoverable items in a zone are collected, a portal to a battle zone opens, where players must then engage in combat. The ultimate goal is to acquire 34 Chinomikon pages to survive.
