A physics-driven medieval combat game that feels raw and methodical, with every swing and block shaped by precise mouse control.

What players say

Players praise the unique physics combat but warn that performance and bugs hold it back. Updates have improved things, yet crashes, random bone breaks and auto-parry frustrations remain. Some prefer the earlier tech demo. A thread of faith in the devs runs through the community.
