The game features turn-based combat, the majority of which pits the human protagonists against fantasy characters. Characters are equipped with spears, knifes, crossbows and other projectile weapons, but the violence itself is non-realistic. For instance, stabbing or slashing the thin air will impact upon a character a fair distance away. Impact is instead signified by bright flashes or other magical effects, and characters may also flinch or grunt when they are hit. When human characters die, they slump to the floor, where they remain until the battle ends or they are revived. There is never any visible injury.
