The game features frequent moderate and often bloody violence. On the first strike with weapons which include automatic rifles, pistols and flamethrowers, characters will simply rock back slightly, with a blood effect, but remain standing. On subsequent blows, however, characters will fall to the ground limply and realistically, with more blood. On critical strikes, characters may be killed instantly; for instance, hitting a human character in the chest with a cleaver will cause them to bleed heavily, hunch over and fall to the ground.
