Combat System
Combat is free‑form, giving full control over attacks and movement. Players can wield greatswords, fire arrows, or operate siege engines like catapults and ballistae.
The system emphasizes visceral, gory impacts—limbs may fly off—though blood and gore can be disabled.
- Practice timing heavy attacks to maximize limb‑disabling effects.
- Mix melee and ranged tools to keep opponents guessing.

Weapon part choices affect how the weapon behaves, allowing functional tuning alongside appearance.
- Swap weapon parts to find a balance of speed and damage.
- Match armor aesthetics with functional needs for better immersion.
