Combat uses your real movements to swing weapons, block, parry, and aim at enemy weak points. Choose among styles such as sword and shield, dual wielding, two-handed weapons, bows, and magic; different enemies have distinct attack patterns and defenses.
Explore levels for weapons, crafting materials, and other upgrades, and open shortcuts as you progress. Customize weapons from separate parts, spend earned resources on character skills, and test your fighting style against bosses.
