Same-couch duels with real blades
Four buttons give you four attack angles, and when you are not attacking your fighter guards on their own, so rounds come down to timing, distance, and nerve.
There is no health bar to chew through. One clean cut or thrust can end it, which keeps every round short and social. You laugh, you rematch, you try a different angle. Wooden weapons and sparring gear let you practice together before things get sharp.
History you can swing around
The setting is 17th-century Poland, with clothes rebuilt from the period and fighters drawn from its archetypes: Cossacks, Hussars, Tatars, Janissaries, Musketeers, and more. Weapons are historically accurate, and the motion-captured fencing keeps footwork and blade work believable.
Around the duels there is plenty for solo time too: a cinematic story, arcade mode, quick fights, survival with online leaderboards, and an optional VR mode. For co-op friends, though, the draw is simple. Pick up a controller, learn a few angles, and settle who is better with a saber.
Good to know before you play?
How do you actually fight?
Your fighter blocks on their own when you are not attacking, so you focus on measure, timing, and picking the right moment to go in.
Can you practice without getting cut in half?
Yes. You can spar with wooden weapons or train in modern HEMA gear, plus safe sparring and quick fights. It is a low-pressure way to learn angles and distance before a proper duel.
What can you do solo between duels?
There is also an optional VR mode for the full sword-in-hand feeling.
