The combat in Fury is skill-based, much like in World of Warcraft or Guild Wars. Your character has a collection of skills and abilities that you map to your keyboard. Some of these are offensive, some defensive, and some have other effects. The idea is that you can unlock new abilities in each fight, though the trick is that you can purchase only a set amount of abilities, so you must pick and choose from your larger collection of abilities. Moreover, there are going to be 10 ranks in the game, and the higher your rank, the more points that you can have to purchase skills, plus higher-level skills will be available to you.
