 Each weapon has a light and heavy runic attack, and the player can choose which runic attacks to equip on the weapons.The series offers combo-based combat, and includes a quick time event (QTE) feature, also called context sensitive attacks, which is initiated when the player has weakened a foe or to perform a defensive maneuver.It allows limited control of Kratos during the QTE cinematic sequence; success ends the battle, while failure usually results in damage to the player.
