The Way is about tactical combats with constantly changing rules for every fight. Every encounter is a puzzle with original mechanics, scripts and battlefields of different shapes and sizes where you should adapt your strategy and change it on the go to end up victorious.
First fight you are capturing checkpoints, second is about fighting two enemies at the same time, the third one is 1vs1 duels and in the next encounter you have to defend your commander from a tough guy who can kill him with a blow.
