Both of Geralt's main swords also have distinctively different combat styles from other weaponry, and serve specific purposes. The player can switch between the styles at any point. The fast style allows for more rapid, less-damaging attacks with a higher chance of hitting faster enemies the strong style deals more damage in exchange for a slow attack speed, and a lower chance to hit faster enemies and the group style features sweeping attacks best used if Geralt is surrounded.

Players can choose one of three fighting styles to use in different situations and against different foes. The story takes place in a medieval fantasy world and follows Geralt of Rivia, one of a few traveling monster hunters who have supernatural powers, known as Witchers. In all three views the controls can be changed to be primarily mouse focused or a combined keyboard and mouse approach.
