There's a tank, shaped like a hand, you sit in the wrist of, the fingers flicking enemies and even shaping into a gun to shoot at them. There's also blimp, a glider, a jet-ski and a mech seen in the footage. Attacks vary from ranged gun shots to twirling acrobatic sword strikes, and to what appears to be a kind of magic, too.
