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. ;-)
