At the start of Len’s Island, the combat is pretty simple. Gamers simply have a knife, and they must try their best to dodge enemy attacks while hitting them as much as they can. As players progress through the game, they will unlock better tools and equipment until their arsenal is no match for the Void creatures that inhabit the island.
