As players increase level and experience points, their individual attacks will get faster and do more damage as well. What's also interesting is that with the game's over 80 different weapons, which include swords, axes, bows and shields, each character will use each weapon in a unique way. For example, Sargon will swing a long sword differently than say Naglar the dwarf. Another element that factors into battle is stamina. If your character hasn't built up their stamina, then they won't be able to perform certain attacks.
Players have to avoid battle, rest up and then continue fighting.
Blade of Darkness has over 35 different enemies in addition to orcs and trolls, players will come across skeletons, minotaurs and zombies. Not only can enemies inflict damage on you with weapons, they can poison you as well. The enemy AI is also worth noting. If an orc has taken a lot of damage, he will run off and regroup before attacking again. Each character has unique walk, run, attack, and jump animations.
