Hellish Quart - An Early Access game review
3Welcome to an early access game called “Hellish Quart” by Kubold with an expected release date of Feb 2021.
In this video, I play a few rounds of hectic tactical duel’s that’s the only way I can describe it, for an early access game this is already looking well-polished and from what I played the fighting mechanics appear to be developed and responsive. Although this at first looks like another Street Fighter / Mortal Combat clone, trust me it's not. Players can move around and circle their opponent it's not linear like the other games mentioned. It has some close-quarter moves, like kicks to the knees, a punch and a sword pommel strike. If you spam your controller buttons, you will quickly lose, currently, there are 3 levels of difficulty, more to do with how responsive the AI is.
This is obviously aimed at the console players hence the use of a controller. This game is no longer available to play as the play-testing period has now ended, so it looks like this is now in further development. Hopefully, I can get my hands on another demo once that's out so I can upload and review more gameplay.

ABOUT THIS GAME
A fighting game about sword duelling, in which the blades really clash using physics, and the characters use motion-captured fencing techniques. Play as one of many 17th century warriors and use sabres, rapiers, broadswords and many other blades in the single-player campaign, arcade, or local multiplayer with friends.
physical Sword Fighting using Active Ragdolls
super realistic, motion-captured fencing animations
beautiful 3d scanned graphics
Hellish Quart uses active ragdolls and all damage your blade can do is calculated with realtime physics. Four gamepad buttons represent 4 attack angles. Different button combinations give special attacks and combos. If you are not attacking, your character will automatically try to hold guard against your opponent's attacks. The blades really block each other and that's what's keeping you alive. To win, you must use proper timing, measure, technique, speed and wits - just like when fencing in the real world.
Hellish Quart has a historical setting. The game takes place in 17th century Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The character models are made using 3D scanned clothes, based on fashion from the period, and the single-player campaign (when done!) will be firmly rooted in realities of life in the region. You will duel Zaporozhian Cossacks, Polish Hussars, Tatars, Turkish Janissaries, Swedish Reiters, French Musketeers and more.
