The campaign can be played alone or online with up to three friends. Private worlds save changes and progress even when individual players are offline.

No Rest for the Wicked offers German menus and subtitles. The voice-over is available in English. Steam also lists French, Italian, Japanese and Spanish text, among others.

In version 1.0, players can join six factions. Each offers its own quests and traders, through which further abilities can be unlocked. These include the Assassins of the Severed Hand and the Guards of Sacrament.

Cerim cores affect health, stamina and focus, among other things. Other cores increase attack speed or enable life steal. If the capacity limit is exceeded, the character takes more damage from enemy attacks.
