Most combat occurs at night when traversing the dungeons and fighting dogs, snakes, fantasy creatures such as skeletal soldiers and various boss characters. It is possible to attack other human characters, whether armed or unarmed during the day and combat can be initiated with another character by simply unsheathing the sword and slashing at the opponent.

Each sword strike creates highly exaggerated and voluminous amounts of blood that covers everything nearby, at the conclusion of a fight the loser will fall to the floor and lie in a pool of blood. There are no visible wounds and post mortem injuries cannot be inflicted. The use of fists and feet, martial arts style, will also generate the same type of blood effects. The violence depicted in the game is not realistic, it is however sustained.
