5. Can you tell us a bit about some of the weapons we'll be getting to grips with in the game?
Your main weapon is the Heavenly Sword itself. It comes in 3 stances which you can switch between on the fly to create your own combos and fighting style.

Speed Stance has the sword split into two blades. It's fast, technical and has a lot of depth to it. It is good in one-on-one fights against skillful opponents.

Power Stance has the sword blades join to form one huge powerful sword. It is slow and powerful and great against tougher enemies or to break enemy defenses.

Range Stance has the sword blades extend from its handles with chains. It is the weakest of the three but it covers a large and wide area. It is great for taking out lots of enemies or knocking them into the air for follow-on aerial combos. It can also be used to sweep debris at enemies.

Then there are the tables, barrels, bowls, and all the enemy weapons which you can pick up and throw around with Aftertouch controls. You can even knock enemies out and Aftertouch them into other enemies.

Now all of the above can be mixed and matched freely during combat but it is still surprisingly easy to get to grips with. Mastering combat is another matter.
