Gameplay
The gamplay is quite the same as the Resident evil games when it comes to inventory. The player can collect, use and combine items. Combining items is crucial to complete the game or at least even advance the game. The player can combine many types of items to one, such as combining a wodden pole with a metalic blade to form a Spear, or a empty bottle, petrol and a rag cloth to form a coktail, but the player need to add the lighter to it in order to use it as a weapon. The controll system are simple yet enjoyable for most people. The player can either use the arrow keys to controll Finn or by pressing the K button to use the mouse instead. The battle systems is a combination between Diablo and Fallout, by clicking an enemy while a weapon is at hand makes Finn Attack 1 shot per click, unless it is an Assault Rifle or an Automatic Pistol, these weapons fires automaticly while holding the left mouse button.
The game offers the player to use the Raksha weapons, but to use them, the player needs to bring the weapons to Roscko in order to remove the user idenifier on the weapons, without it, the weapon can be used by anyone. Once the player has delivired the weapon to Roscko, the weapon can be bought by Shanon. Every weapon has a skill leveling system, the more the player use that weapon, the better chance the player can hit an enemy.
The game also offers Psionic abilities whitch can be used against enemies. to lern or level them up, the player needs to visit a special person for each psionic ability, there are 2 types, one offensive, one deffensive.
