Combos: The combat is basically button mashing, but if you explore the combo system you can kill things much more efficiently.

Exposed to the Elements

comment
Exposed to the Elements: The game takes place during winter. Crom is obviously shirtless to show off how badass he is. Curiously, the barbarian mooks he fights often wear thick fur cloaks...yet are still completely shirtless, and most of them do not even use shields to compensate for being completely unprotected. Presumably, this was to make it easier for the game to show off all the Gorn, common sense be damned. Made even weirder by how the same mooks (as well as their miniboss and boss varieties) combine being shirtless with wearing full face-covering metal helmets, implying that they do care about protection somewhat. This is in spite of such helmets essentially restricting one's field of view to its tiny eyeholes, and thus being far more uncomfortable to wear than body armour, let alone a simple fur coat, would. In Real Life, fully enclosed helmets were only worn if the rest of the body was already completely encased in armour (be it knights, samurai or Parthians), while lighter armored folk stuck with helmets that protected only the skull and at most nose and back of the head as well, precisely because a better protected face wasn't worth taking a massive hit to visibility and becoming much easier to flank. However, the game designers only cared about not having to render and animate the enemies' faces.

Deliberately Monochrome: The cutscenes use the tried-and-true combination of black, white, and blood.
