Nov. 2024

Probably one of the greatest modern couch VS games ever conceived. A must have classic even if you plan to play alone. This is one of the best arcade experiences you'll have. Period.

Aug. 2024

So yes, this game is pretty ridiculous and weird looking, but hear me out! This game it just a classic with remote connect. The base concept is really not hard to learn and the fun comes from playing it on VC with a friend while panicking and trying to outspasm him. It's great because of its simplicity and, of course, sheer absurdity

Aug. 2024

Totally awesome. A really fun little fencing game, with a nice art style and combat that's easy to learn yet tricky to master. I've played my fair share of this with a mate, and will always remember it fondly. An easy recommend.

June 2024

This is of the classics of it's time. Must have 1v1 party game. Arcade style simplicity, threat, adrenaline, and high intensity quick reflexes.

March 2024

Quite short, fun, juicy game about death cult of 8-bit master sword fencers - shame it couldn't debut online on Flash, it would certainly become one of legendary flash games! :)
