You also need to block, parry, and dodge. You can equip four special moves to help in combat, such as Tornado Spin, Knee Breaker, and Spiral Strike.

This title features a Rage System, a three-tiered adrenaline meter that builds as you fight. The higher your Rage is, the higher your damage is. This is tied to Logan's survivability and healing.
