Our first venture was to fight some monsters. These monsters were quite a bit stronger, and larger, than a maggot or zombie. One might consider Bone Golems, Fire Golems, Rock Golems, and Ruxi to be formidable opponents! They were no match for our group of five, and the big blue dragon; however, we did get the chance to taste the intricacies of the combat system. Although similar to other games, there are combat features unique to Horizons; such as the evasion system and leveling school abilities.
