In addition to traditional sword fighting, the protagonist also has the unique ability to raise various objects (including enemies) and throwing them at the attacking rivals. The whole thing happens at a rather fast pace, and the additional difficulty comes in the form of demanding bosses and the fact that some opponents die only for a moment and can be reborn.
