The fights in Legend of Kay are reminiscent of good old eastern martial-arts movies. There are various moves the player can execute: uppercuts, back flips, somersaults, powerful magic attacks and then you have the combo moves. Once you gain a combo, you can auto-aim at enemies, which makes it easier to execute double- and triple blows.

In the beginning you are armed with nothing but a sword, but later in the game Kay receives steel claws and a powerful war hammer. All weapons can be upgraded.

Kay has to fight a wide variety of enemies on the ground and in the air. There is a lot of jump and run action, puzzles and of course many, many fights.
