The game involves the use of a range of weapons from the time period in which it is set, including bows and arrows, spears, swords and catapults. The use of bladed weapons can cause realistic looking violence, although there is no sight of blood. Catapult weapons can hurl boulders and explosives. When these land amongst a group of troops, people are scattered by the force of the impact. Explosive projectiles can set characters alight, who will briefly run about before falling to the ground. However, there is no sight of injury or burnt flesh.
