About the Game

You are a low ranking knight, after your father had succumbed to his injury's from battle, you take up the blade and take to his place within the tournament, seeking victory and revenge. 

This is a game about learning how to fight with Directional combat.
Every battle is a boss encounter designed to teach mastery of a directional combat system where attack angles, timing, and positioning decide survival.

Each boss introduces new challenges that force players to understand spacing, defence, counters, and directional attacks. Progress comes from knowledge, execution, and adaptation — not grinding.
Failure is part of the lesson. Victory means mastery.

This game is designed as an introduction to Directional Combat, allowing a first step into other similar games with a huge learning curve.
With each step through this game, unlocking more mechanics and adding up to 4 directions within combat, and adding stamina on the higher Difficulty, as well as speeding up the animations as well.
