blog.playstation.com:

Hey everyone! Square Enix and PlatinumGames are excited to show you our brand-new Combat 101 trailer for Babylon’s Fall and take a deeper look at all things combat.  In Babylon’s Fall you take on the role of a Sentinel, the once conscripted prisoners of the Empire. A parasitic device called the Gideon Coffin is implanted into your back which grants you unrivaled powers. You need to master your true potential to survive the summit and take on the Tower of Babel.

As the above trailer shows, weapons are your choice as you can quad wield four weapons in Babylon’s Fall. Each weapon type has distinct skills and abilities, with endless customization for you to find exactly how you like to play. 

Quad wielding not only allows you to customize your playstyle, it also allows you to react to all of the threats that the Tower of Babel will throw at you. Whether it’s equipping four of the same weapons or mixing it up, the choice is yours with hundreds of builds available.

However, you’ll want to consider the different types of enemies when arming yourself for battle, as you will face all manner of foes from flying to shielded to ranged to melee. Each weapon will be adept at handling different situations, such as striking flying enemies with ranged weapons will yield greater success. While attacking shielded enemies with a hammer will break their guard with ease. 

Let’s take a closer look at the load out options: 

Swords – A great choice for all round combination attacks. New Sentinels will find this suitable for all the dangers thrown at you, however experienced Sentinels might want to add range to their arsenal. Launch your enemies into the air with special Spectral Attacks. 

Hammers – For those warriors that seek power over speed,
