While you will have to use your guns to take out small and large spiders, bats and eventually a number of thralls, the main objective is exploring and solving the mystery set forth by Lara's father as he attempted to hide the magical artifact. Unlike other titles, Beneath the Ashes doesn't really place a large focus on combat.
