''Last Bible'' has a similar approach and aesthetic to conventional role-playing games, with the lead protagonist El traveling across a world map as he fights Demons (referred to as Monsters) and visits towns and dungeons along the way. Unlike previous ''Megami Tensei'' games that had a first-person perspective view, exploration in ''Last Bible'' is viewed from an entirely overhead perspective.
''Last Bible'' has a similar approach to conventional role-playing games, where the lead protagonist El travels across a world map as he fights demons (referred to as beasts or monsters) and visits towns and dungeons along the way. Unlike Atlus's previous ''Megami Tensei'' games in the franchise, which had first-person perspectives, exploration in ''Last Bible'' is viewed from an entirely overhead perspective.


While venturing across the world map and in dungeons, El may encounter Monsters that he can either fight or attempt to Negotiate into joining his party. ''Last Bible'' has a simplified Negotiation, consisting of a series of predicable questions that El can only respond to with yes or no. Monsters will respond favorably to a certain order of responses, whereupon they will join El and can be called into his party. Including himself, El can keep a stock of up to 12 allies and can lead a full party of 6 at a time. Additionally, El can also send his allies to talk with Monsters, with the result being random.
El may encounter monsters that he can either fight for experience and [[Macca]], or attempt to [[Negotiate]] into joining his party. ''Last Bible'' has a simplified Negotiation system, consisting of a series of preset, orderly questions that El can only respond to with yes or no. Monsters will respond favorably to a certain order of responses given, whereupon they will join El and can be called into his active party. Over the course of the game's story, the characters Kishe and Uranus will eventually join El's party as permanent party members. Allies can also be sent to speak with monsters, with the success being random.


Through fighting Monsters, El gains experience that will eventually level him up, allowing him to increase one of his stats by one point and potentially learn a new magic skill. At towns, the party are able to access a number of item and equipment shops as well as deposit banks and inns. The party's inventory can carry up to a limit of 28 items, including equipped items, requiring that items be periodically deposited at the bank or be sold. The inn is able to revive and recover the party for a fee per ally. If the party is wiped out, it will not result in a game over but instead transport them to the last inn used and their [[Macca]] halved.
Through fighting monsters, El, Kishe, and Uranus gain experience that will level them up, allowing them to increase one of their stats by one point and learn new magic skills at certain levels. In towns, the party can purchase items and equipment as well as access banks and inns. The party's inventory has a limited number of spaces, requiring that items be periodically deposited at the bank or sold. Macca can also be stored at the banks as well. Inns are able to revive and recover the party for a fee per ally. If the party is wiped out in battle, it will not result in a game over, but instead transport them back to the last inn used and their Macca halved.


As El progresses on his adventure, he eventually meets and allies with Kishe and Uranus. Kishe in particular possesses a special skill called Combine that lets him fuse two Monsters in El's stock anytime.
Monster [[Fusion]]s can be performed using Kishe's [[Combine]] spell. This may sometimes result in a fusion accident, known as a Mutation, with an unexpected combination result. There are some monsters that can only be obtained this way.
 
The Game Boy and Game Boy Color versions have a VS Mode, where players can fight each other's parties over a [[Wikipedia:Game Link Cable|Game Link Cable]] connection.
