Yes, it has combat and PvP.

Players who start their character on Planet Arkadia are rewarded with fighting equipment and the military rank of Private which shows a sense of militaristic gameplay, but you do not need to do this in order to play in a combat environment as combat is found on nearly every planet.

Anyone who wishes to play this game should know that in order to advance later on chances are you'll have to spend a few bucks but you can still do it free2play it will just take much longer and be a lot harder.
