Gameplay AFK Arena is based around the away from keyboard gameplay, where the players continue to obtain resources and experience points, even when they are not actively playing. All battles in the game unfold automatically with a selected team of five heroes based on a preset order, although the players can manually trigger the special skills. Strategical positioning on the battlefield is important, as there are combat buffs depending on hero faction, and certain heroes excel in specific positions.

Heroes can be upgraded and enhanced through leveling up, equipping gear and artifacts or strengthening their signature items. Each of them belong to one of the eight factions (Lightbearers, Maulers, Wilders, Graveborn, Celestials, Hypogeans, Dimensionals, and Draconis) and are further distinguished with a Character class, Type, and Role of their own, each with its backstory, strengths, and weaknesses. New characters can be acquired through a Gacha game, which requires in-game currency or microtransactions.

The main storyline is divided up into increasingly more difficult chapters. Other game modes in AFK Arena include: Bounty Board (selected heroes can complete offline timed requests for rewards), King’s Tower (ascending a tower filled with increasingly difficult enemies on every floor), Arcane Labyrinth (using relics to advance) and Arena of Heroes (PvP competition against other teams for rankings and rewards). The players can also form guilds filled with other players, allowing them to collaborate on missions and participate in guild events.
