I've never felt KC:D's combat took much consideration from the
terrain. It was much more focused on watching your opponents moves and
reacting accordingly (more akin to Dark Souls).

But often, terrain considerations in melee combat mostly boil down to
"do I have good footing necessary to maintain my balance during the
next strike/parry", and I don't know of _any_ video game that models
that.

Well, maybe Super Mario Bros. on the ice-levels. ;-)
