Overview
While technically Intrepid Studios has not showcased the Fighter, they did do a melee combat showcase using one of the Fighter Archetype Classes the Weapon Master. That video is linked to the right. As a note, Intrepid did not do a very good job of detailing out the tab-targeting version of melee combat in this video. Intrepid/Steven did later make a text post detailing out that while the melee combat show case looks very action combat oriented, that the game is still a tab/action hybrid.
