A 3D one-on-one sword fighting game in a packed arena. Pick a knight, a Bavarian Landsknecht, a Roman legionary, a Viking raider or a Saracen swordsman and fight your way through a gauntlet of champions. Every swing costs stamina, so block, parry and strike back.

New in v1.0
First release: five champions from Rome to the Renaissance, a packed arena, parries, stamina and a gauntlet of ever sharper opponents.
How to play
Two fighters, one arena, best of three rounds. Each round lasts 60 seconds; if time runs out the fighter with more health takes it.
- Light attack is quick and cheap. Heavy attack is slow, hits hard and wears down a guard.
- Block by holding the shield button. Blocking a light attack throws the attacker off balance.
- Parry by raising your guard just as a blow lands. The attacker staggers and is open to a counter.
- Stamina drains with every swing and every blow you block. Run dry while blocking and your guard breaks.
The fighters
- Sir Aldric, Knight of the Realm: full plate and a longsword. Takes less damage than anyone.
- Hans Brenner, Bavarian Landsknecht: a Zweihänder with the longest reach. Slow, but devastating.
- Marcus Varro, Legionary of Rome: tower shield and gladius. The best guard in the arena.
- Ulf Hrafnsson, Norse Raider: axe and round shield. The most health and heavy blows.
- Rashid al-Saif, Saracen Swordsman: a curved sabre and buckler. The fastest blade.
The gauntlet
Win and the next champion steps in, a little sharper than the last. Your longest win streak goes on the leaderboard.
FAQ
Can I just mash attack? No. Mashing burns your stamina and the arena's champions punish it. Space your swings and look for parries.
Does it work on a phone? Yes. Hold your phone upright: the fight sits at the top and the controls at the bottom.
