The optimization aspect of the game allows for some shooting mechanics, including the use of a machine-gun with a slow reload, and incorporates in-game cards to enhance character performance. However, the repetitive nature of the descriptions suggests that the optimization may not be particularly robust or varied.
“You can do a bit of shooting with a machine gun (with a slow reload) and use some in-game cards to boost your character's performance.”
