Hellish Quart

Totally awesome and a ton of fun. Combat is complex and satisfying with each fighter offering something a bit different, the maps are all very detailed and nice to look at, the music is actually really good, and the campaign is far better than it has any right to be. I can't recommend this game enough, it is just so damn fun, especially if you play with a friend.

Physics have, unfortunately, gotten significantly worse as time as gone on. Along with the asking price and content drip, I can't recommend this to anyone. Play Halfsword instead until things improve.

Сорі, ні. Це лайно собаче. Перше що мене здивувало це РОСІЙСЬКА "СЛАВЯНСКАЯ" МУЗИКА під час гри. Я не знаю чим думав автор ПОЛЯК. Напевно росіяни недоходчиво пояснили йому в 39му, що він йому як срань на лапоть. Сама гра ще дуже сира, концепт крутий. Нативно зрозуміти на шо тиснуть в меню не дуже зрозуміло, тобто не зручно, конкретно з клави так точно. Саме меню дешевеньке, складність в грі СМІШНА. Натискаєш 1 кнопку - виграєш бій, на всіх рівнях складності, я почав з самого складного, бо щось мені підсказувало, шо в грі геймплейно помінявся мінімум ЗА РОКИ, нажаль. Студії треба бабки й повикидать зайву російську чухню. Дуже шкода, якшо хоча б приберете з гри російське, то куплю знову, а так вертаю кошт.

The game is early access, but it’s pretty unplayable in the state it is, but I don’t see a road to recovery since the game seems to play as intended and there’s no glitches or anything. The real problem is how they implemented these legitimately cool ideas. It’s clunky, unresponsive, and playing it feels like nonsense. Nothing you do does what you intend even if you put in the combo exactly how they describe it. I’d say if you input a combo in perfect conditions your character only performs your input about 70% of the time, either doing nothing or doing something completely different, but the AI performs them perfectly every time. Sometimes my character takes damage from an opponent’s weapon while blocking. And it’s not where you’re too close and your blocking isn’t effective, it’s more like your block only moves the blade away from your texture but still hits your hit box. I don’t know if that’s actually what’s going on or if maybe this is a glitch but still it’s frustrating that your attacks don’t always work and your blocks don’t always work for seemingly no reason, in a game where that’s 2 of 3 things you need to do, third being movement, which always works but at about 2x slower than you would like. Walking in this game is like walking through jello. I want to like this game so much because I love HEMA but it was not done as well as it appears. It’s a shame. I might get it again in the future but in the state it is now, it is not as fluid as they advertise it to be and I would not spend the money on it

Game is great but lack of multiplayer kind of ruins it for me. Playing against CPU is fine but the actual draw to this game was thinking I could play with friends. If you don't care about that, then it's a fun game. If you do... prepare to be somewhat disappointed

I really, really want to like this game. I appreciate the commitment to historical accuracy and the physics-based attack placement. My issue is the movement. Everyone moves like they're knee-deep in mud, and it completely ruins any enjoyability. The standard directional inputs shuffle them forward in half-steps, and double-tapping sends them lunging forward. There's no single step except through specific attacks. I've played a lot of fighting games, and the ones that respond like this just aren't fun to play no matter how good you get at them. I don't want to discourage the developer, because I really respect this project and what it's trying to do. If the developer does read this, please keep up the good work and do something to fine-tune distance management. The characters don't need to move faster, but they need to respond with more urgency and move more during their attacks. Also, there needs to be a way to transition from binding blades in long guard to grappling range. That's essential to closing the gap without a shield, and it's notably absent here. Please keep working on the game. I look forward to revisiting it closer to final release.
