 It was even more fun when I imagined the game as a battle between the undefeated champion gladiator and the Black Knight, the strongest in the country's knighthood!

Amazing! Very fun, just the right amount of hard.

(+1)

EPIC :)

The game is fun

Tip: If you wait until the black knight performs the dashing blockable move, start dashing until you reach a wall and then block it. It will get him stuck.

it got me stuck no help that tip bad

edit: block right after dashing only then the knight will get stuck

edit2: you need to block on the same frame that the night does the  dodgeable attack

I loved learning the parttern 10/10 :)

while i was trying to beat it without hitting once, i spotted a pattern in first few moves: unblockable, blockable, unblockable. Enjoyed the game!

(+1)

theres no pattern i saw the knight do unblockable unblockable in the first phase

(+1)

it did take a while but i beat it only getting hit once

(+2)

this is really hard 😂11/10

(+1)

amazing feel. Easy to get into, hard to master

(+1)

I don’t enjoy soulslikes personally but this was fun

(+1)

The HP was very generous so I could tank a load of hits. Still prefer Nok Out *slightly*

Hi, nice game i love it!!! :D

some tutorial ?? im creating my boss fight but im new :/

(+1)

Nice combat system and pretty fun to play, having to alternate between blocking and dodging.

I was hoping something else after defeating the knight though.

I like the environment, but I think the parallax scrolling would benefit from being more "pixel" by "pixel" snappy, because it makes the background a bit distracting when moving.

how the shit did you make a better souls boss then the entire last half of eldenring?

(+1)

Great game, I always love quick combat games like this. All the attacks were telegraphed really well and it felt good to learn the boss's patterns. I also really liked that the boss got a few new attacks as the fight went on. Nice job!

(+1)

Very satisfying mechanic, had a blast playing! 5 Stars (if I were allowed to vote) ... And really scratches that Dark Souls itch:

Challenge --> Die --> Train  --> Die some more --> Mastering controls --> Die cuz being reckless --> Win (with 1 HP left)

(+2)

Sounds accurate.

Really cool game, I've never played any dark souls games, but I don't think I want to after playing this.

Uh, I just died and killed the Black Knight!

No hit run!!!

(+1)

Thanks for playing :)

Yep, anytime.

(+1)

this is pretty fun

(+1)

Really cool! Souls vibes. I love the 3D walls and the gameplay is intuitive and fun. Could make a nice boss rush game

(+2)

It was stronger than the Dark Souls Black Knights  xd.

(+1)

very cool
