How it feels

Matches feel like a tense weapons duel where a single broken blade forces you to scramble and adapt to faster, riskier bare-handed combat.

About

Select between a group of 11 fighters and clash against each other using your specific moves and attacks. Additionally, each character fights with his own unique weapon, but depending on how much you block your weapon can break and you must finish the fight barehanded and using a different moveset and generally faster (but less powerful) attacks.
