Swiping the mouse swings your weapon with realistic heft, making each fight a tense, skill-based duel of momentum and precision.

What players say

Players praise the unique mouse-driven physics combat, calling it a timeless classic, but warn that it requires manual config file editing to run properly and is full of bugs at higher resolutions. Opinions split on difficulty, with some finding the easy mode harder and others saying it clicks once you turn sensitivity up.
