The game uses a GPS location system to map the player's location in Japan to it's equivalent within itself, carrying over famous landmarks such as Tokyo Tower if in the player's proximity. After selecting a quest to complete the player must physically travel to the destination in order to complete the task, but the game scale's the world map to the player's location and allows them to pick a closer location for an adventure. Quests range from recovering specific items to give to important [[Non-Player Character|NPC]]s to defeating monsters.

Combat is turn-based as in the series standard, with a monster's actions being shown in third-person and the player's avatar being depicted from behind as they preform an action. Battle is not limited to one-on-one fights, and players can form real life parties to tackle difficult missions together. Basic vocations--[[Warrior]], [[Priest]], [[Martial Artist]], [[Mage]], and [[Thief]]--were available at launch, with advanced vocations being added in the January 28 2020 update including the [[Gladiator]], [[Sage]], and [[Ranger]]. Advanced vocations require mastery of two basic careers in order to unlock, similar to the system seen in ''Dragon Quest VI'', with the ranger requiring the player reach level 50 in the martial artist and thief for example. When exploring dungeons, the camera will shift to a first-person mode and steps will be taken one at a time in-game with random encounters triggering.

Unlike other AR games, ''DQ Walk'' has an actual story that is gradually told to the player through the completion of mainline quests, NPC dialogue in sidequests, and so forth. This storyline includes original characters specifically made for the game, as well as cameos of characters from past titles. Because certain characters had no official artwork for their debut, new art drawn by [[Akira Toriyama]] was prepared for these individuals, such as [[Rose]] for example.
