After the first reveal, a common complaint was how simplistic the combat system appeared. Well, Crystal Dynamics certainly paid attention and set the record straight.

Each character will have three different classes of fighting, ranging from regular punching and kicking to heroic moves that can clear the screen instantly. There are a number of great ranged attacks too, depending on which hero you're in control of.

For examples of the different move sets, they focused once again on Thor, as well as a quick glimpse into other characters doing their thing. With Thor, you are able to select multiple targets before throwing Mjolnir. Mjolnir will then follow the path you have laid out and hit each enemy.

For the Heroic moves, they showed off Thor's Bifrost summoning before switching to Black Widow and her "Assault Heroic". Pulled straight off the page, her Widow's Bite is an electroshock projectile she can fire from her wristband.

Some characters will have enhancements or abilities that can assist any other team member on a mission. Thor's "Warriors Fury" channels the Power of the Gods to supercharge himself. Once the meter is filled, other heroes that are nearby are granted a period of invulnerability, allowing for some fun, risk free robot kicking.
