In Numen, the hero will encounter many enemies familiar from mythology, including the medusa, minotaur, harpy as well as some new or less known creatures or people, such as damned Nubian warriors, forest people, mad followers of Hephaestus etc. While trying to complete the main quest and all the minor side quests, the hero will encounter these enemies and fight them with whatever means necessary. Some monsters have weaknesses to certain types of weapons, so the player must think and select the correct strategy to vanguish each of them. These methods may include the casting of a spell of silence to stop the enemy from casting spells, or using a special sword combo to inflict extra bleeding damage etc.
The variety in the enemies and their strengths and weaknesses forces the player to be active during the battles, to plan ahead and to choose the correct enemies to stun or incapacitate first before paying attention to the rest of the attacking horde. All in all, the developers promise that the battles will include more tactics and strategy than you usually see in hack'n'slash Diablo-alikes and the style approaches more of that of World of Warcraft when played solo.
