The characters that can be chosen include Oliphaunts, Scouts, Trolls, the Balrog, Nazgul and many more depending on the range of combat. Some of the weapons players can choose from are swords, axes, fire arrows, daggers and cloaks. Powers can be obtained throughout the game such as fireballs, shock waves, and the ability to orb into different spots. Many can play, up to 16 players can play online or offline or you can use a split screen with two to four players.
