The Most Realistic Sword Fighting Game of 2020!
62,720It's still early in its development, but the demo shows very solid gameplay already, and highly effective mechanics. Who says realism and fun can't go together at all? There is nothing wrong with over the top action in games, but this is refreshingly different.

Hellish Quart is inspired by Bushido Blade, with its lack of health bars and potential for one-hit fight stoppers. The developers clearly did a lot of work to understand historical martial arts, and it's impressively well represented here.
This is not sponsored by the way, it's just my personal impression of the game so far. And based on that I can definitely recommend checking it out.
