New weapons are also acquired as Jason moves along, all with their own unique appearances and effects. Some spears, for instance, can puncture enemy shields, which some maces have special damage abilities. These are all displayed in a special room of your ship, set up something like a trophy room so you can admire your collection. Armor is another factor to consider, as Jason will acquire several suits, some of which can be upgraded with special attachments that provide better defense or other effects. Your loadout needs to be selected before you head out, though, as you can't swap equipment in the field.
While those elements seem like they belong in a game being called an RPG, there aren't any kinds of genre staples like vendors, items, or in-game currency. It's just the weapons, armor, and magic powers. Each weapon does have its own fighting style, though, and depending on where you're standing relative to your opponents you'll perform different attacks. Two companions can be brought with you into fights to help out, but you don't have any control over them. In the demos we've seen, they'll run around in the background, smashing enemies that get near or firing off magical blasts. Should you get close to them and enemies happen to be around, you'll occasionally perform tandem attacks.
