Nina Williams, the mysterious assassin introduced in Namco's popular Tekken series of 3D fighting games, strikes out on her own in this action-oriented adventure. In the game the player controls the assassin Nina Williams as she fights to take down terrorist organization/evil corporation Kometa. She infiltrated a luxury cruise ship, Amphitrite, as a fighter in an illegal fighting tournament. The mission was to find out more about this organization, and two other CIA operatives were sent onboard the cruiser. Nina was but a support member of the team, not to take anything in her own hands unless her colleagues fail. Yet, when she is taken captive, and receives the news of mission failed, she's about to take matters into her own hands, and do what she's trained to do... sweep off the decks.

Nina must make her way through a large cruise ship, finding keys and scanning prints to gain access to more areas while using stealth to avoid the guards. When stealth fails, the game's more unique aspects come into play. Although game uses 3rd-person perspective, on certain occasions it switches to 1st-person view such as when using a sniper rifle, swimming underwater, or crawling the ducts.

Stealth tactics provide an opportunity to explore levels, gather information, slay guards without drawing attention, and escape unharmed. The assassin will find plenty of opportunities to put her well-practiced fighting skills to use as well, however, and the game offers a new double-analog-stick-based system designed to allow easy, acrobatic melee attacks against foes in any direction. When unarmed combat is not the best solution, Nina can pull out her tonfa or katana and make quick work of the bad guys, or she can make use of a wide selection of guns and other ranged weapons.

Death by Degrees uses analog sticks to perform the attacks. The left stick moves Nina, and make her dodge when tapped instead of moved gradually, while the right stick makes her attack in whatever direction it is tapped, so attacks can be executed in any direction. Blocks are executed by holding the right stick toward the enemy at the precise moment of attack. In fights, you can disable enemies quickly with precisely-aimed bone-breaking maneuvers.

When executed correctly, the game switches to an x-ray views to bone crushing a bit more enhanced then it was done in Rogue Ops. You can lock camera over your shoulder in most of the areas, which then allows you to freely rotate the camera while Nina is constantly in her running mode. Beside martial arts, she can use variety of melee weapons like knives, batons, swords, and such, as well as pistols, machine guns, and other firearms. As you defeat opponents, you gain points which serves you to upgrade already rich plethora of moves and attacks.

The game includes a bonus disc Tekken 5 (Demo).

* Use both analog sticks for 360-degree combat moves to get out of sticky situations
* Use Nina's X-ray vision to inflict heavy damage on specific vital areas
* Employ a number of Nina's special Tekken moves including throws, submissions, and the Evil Mist
