The combat is in real time and the player controls Maddog's basic movements: side steps, blocking and attacking in two different heights. There are three difficulty levels which mostly influence the combat but the lowest one also results in easier puzzles.

Timing is crucial; you will need to press keys in the exact second. Luckily, you’re allowed to save your progress at four fi
