With precise timing, the player can link Geralt's attacks into combos to damage enemies more effectively.Īlchemy is a significant part of the gameplay. The steel blade is used to fight humans and other flesh-and-blood beings, while the silver sword is more effective against supernatural monsters and beasts (against some of which steel may have no effect whatsoever). Both of Geralt's main swords also have distinctively different combat styles from other weaponry, and serve specific purposes. The player can switch between the styles at any point. The fast style allows for more rapid, less-damaging attacks with a higher chance of hitting faster enemies the strong style deals more damage in exchange for a slow attack speed, and a lower chance to hit faster enemies and the group style features sweeping attacks best used if Geralt is surrounded. Players can choose one of three fighting styles to use in different situations and against different foes. In all three views the controls can be changed to be primarily mouse focused or a combined keyboard and mouse approach. There are three camera styles available in The Witcher: two isometric perspectives, where the mouse is used to control most functions, and an over-the-shoulder view, which brings the player closer to the in-game combat while limiting vision.
