Hanagumi Taisen Columns is a Sakura Wars spinoff that crosses the series over with SEGA's classic puzzle game Columns. The core gameplay follows the classic Columns rules: players control falling columns of three blocks of assorted colours with the goal of creating horizontal, vertical, or diagonal sets of 3 pieces of the same colour. Unlike the original Columns , this game introduces a new Puyo Puyo-style competitive mechanic. As players perform combos, a super gauge fills, with longer combos rewarding progressively larger amounts of super meter. Each time the meter fills to a full level, players are given the option to keep charging or to perform an offensive or defensive special technique. Offensive attacks send garbage blocks to the opponent's side; these pieces have the same colours as normal pieces, but can't be used in a combo until a certain number of turns passes. Defensive techniques remove lines of blocks from the player's side. The longer the player charges up their super meter, the more powerful techniques become.

A visual novel story mode gives the player a traditional Sakura Wars -style story, complete with branching story paths using the series's trademark LIPS option-selection system. However, instead of mech battles, characters settle their differences with matches of Columns . The story follows the troupe's production of Cinderella , with each character vying for the best parts in the show.
