The Heavenly Sword itself can transform into three distinct weapons, each with its own accompanying fighting stance used by Nariko to vary combat styles.
The Combat Engine:
The combat engine can scale up from sophisticated one-on-one encounters
to one-on-many, where enemies employ intelligent squad-based dynamics, right
up to combat against battalions pushing real-time gameplay and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) to unprecedented new levels.
Physics-Based Combat:
The physics-based combat allows players to sweep debris
against opponents, kick tables to halt an oncoming surge of fighters, smash
the enemy into the scenery, or throw bodies into other enemies using "aftertouch" controls.
Wide range of Objects & Weaponry:
Heavenly Sword provides a wide range of objects & weaponry
including rapid-fire crossbows and massively damaging bazookas.
Creative in-game Cinematography:
Coupled with real-time story evolvement and amazing set-pieces, Heavenly
Sword feels like a blockbuster action movie that takes combat gameplay to
new heights.
Playstation 3:
Greater processing power on the PS3 enables more immersive visuals and
sound effects in Heavenly Sword, heightening the character performance and
combat within the stunningly beautiful environments.
