A variety of styles are available for use when playing stages in NOISZ. The selection differs between the base game and with the DLC because the DLCs introduce new modules and styles to the game. NOISZ ARC⌖CODA has its own selection of styles, featuring an exclusive and Parry style with behavior from its previous iteration.
Does not include styles present in NOISZ STΔRLIVHT; see NOISZ STΔRLIVHT/Styles.

Trivia
- Ghost Style+ and Flash Style+ are references to early styles in NOISZ Ignition - Ghost Style and Flash Style respectively. These two styles were retooled to become Core Module and Flash Module, with the main traits carried over (Chroma Shift for Core Module and Beserker for Flash Module).
