The player fights off waves of enemies using a variety of weapons, including swords, flying stars, arrows and spiked poles. Violence results in large amounts of blood being shed, which may briefly pool on the floor. Strikes with swords cause dismemberment, including enemies being cut in half. However, there is no sight of entrails as the attacker falls apart. Enemy characters either disappear quickly, as does any blood on the floor below them, or are propelled an unrealistic distance away, for example when hit with poles.
