This games uses a different combat system in which evade is very important and the fighters actually move around the battlefield when they evade a blow. Also, there is an evade counter which is reduced everytime a blow is evaded, depending on how hard it was to perform the evasive move. This system is a preview to the one who is going to be used in the game [[Guardian Angel]] and kind of a playtest and proof of concept for the game.
