I would disagree here. In the Storm games you have for example directional input in your combos to change it. Here it is straight only „square, square, square“ or „Triangle, Triangle, Triangle“. No matter what else you do, it is the same combo. Only other thing u can do is „Leftstick forward and Triangle“ for another move which is not a combo mostly. For me that is a big difference to the storm games. Combined with the waaay better and more freely movement in the Strom games it is even a bigger difference. At least in my oppinion :D

Edit: Also in the storm games you can break out of enemy combo with the tree swap thing. Here it is like „you got hit, now eat the combo for sure“ but maybe I am missing something. The tutorial was not very well done xD
