How it feels

A deliberate souls-like action RPG where careful parrying and stamina management define tense medieval combat.

What players say

Players compare it to Sekiro for its parry-focused combat rather than dodge-rolling. It is a short, janky but enjoyable indie soulslike from a solo developer, though some call the animations clunky and it does not run on Steam Deck.
