"Every character can learn all of the 30 fighting styles - or some of them anyway, you don't have to learn all of them. Most players probably won't learn everything," he says. On-screen, a giant fire dragon is summoned to fight alongside him, instantly immolating a toad demon in the process - a high level technique from the fiery compatriot to the Ice Shard fighting style.

What's more, each style can be levelled up independently. "These are all higher level effects," Ray tells us, engaging his burning Fire Armour and setting the dragon on a small group of unhappy looking evil elephants. "As you gain levels, you get style progression points which you put into the different styles, and level them up to get new effects. You choose which styles you want to level up."
