Blades of Gory

Not much of a fighting game in terms of complexity, you only have 3 attacks and 3 parry moves, so you don't need any practice with characters. Essentially you only have 2 choices, you can parry to get the frame advantage, or you can spam attacks instead, not very complicated (oh and you can taunt as well). As far as I can tell, all of the characters have the same moves, although the range and damage seem to be different. I would still recommend it for anyone that likes pixel art, it's a very silly game with decent humor. When you play arcade you have to beat all of the characters, and then you get to fight 4 bosses which have different mechanics. The game features a few different modes, including the arcade, versus, 3vs3 and sudden death. [h1] Pros: [/h1] + nice stage variety and pixel art + fun boss fights + couple different modes + achievements (broken at the moment) [h1] Cons: [/h1] [u] Glitches [/u] - I encountered a few different bugs, such as occasional stutter, freezing and...

I love this game! The polish and little details really give it a charm that makes you want to replay it over and over. The mechanics of the game itself are similar to fighting genre games that reward footsies/neutral play. You should also understand that this game is DIFFICULT. The bosses take different strategies to defeat and you have to think about how you're going to approach it or you WILL die. This is also a great game if you're into speedrunning! It has a good run time for a speedrun and lots of interesting visuals for the viewer. Getting the mechanics of the fights down feels very rewarding in the context of a speedrun. There are some speedruns on youtube that you can check out if you're interested. Overall I would rate this game a solid 8/10. 100% worth your money!

Huge input lag and frame drop when playing at 1440p. Game has potential tho, the neutral is fun.

advantage: 1. there is no such game in the piracy market; 2. the UI interface and operation are very user-friendly, excluding the default keyboard operation of the characters; 3. art characters is beautiful, its a cool art style! disadvantages: 1. the default keyboard setting is very anti-human. AS is move, QW is taunt, DFG is attack, and ERT is block of DFG attack. My hands are large, and it is hard to control "QWERT-ASDFG" at all; (Especially taunt, once I do this action, I will be killed by Ai quickly. To be honest, I am far away from AI!) 2. two person in fight are limited to use the same keyboard, and it can't put down four palms ✋✋✋✋； 3. the game does not have a simple-medium-difficult difficulty setting, and there exists delay in the operation during playing game. Sometimes the skill are too slow to beat AI;

Game is pretty bad... just a 3 button fighter... and as far as blocking goes... there is no time to wait and see what the attack is gonna be so is just a guess... better off attacking I'd think. Didn't play it long enough though so.. I think I really though it was gonna be something else like a campaign style game but this is just a 1vs cpu battle or 2 humans game.

Pass on Blades of Gory. If you must get it then wait for a sale.

Have you ever played a game of Smash Bros against a friend and you both have one stock left? You dodge his attack, he blocks yours, you jump overhead to strike from the skies and he rolls to the left? After what seems like hours of this chess match one of you finally land the game winning side smash? Well that's what this game is. It's fast paced, requires proper attention, and is fun! The controls are pretty easy to learn but the true skill is in knowing what move is coming. It may take a little while to catch on due to different characters having different angles of attack but after a couple of hours of playing this game you should be well on your way to losing to the final(?) boss.

a bit overpriced

This shit needs online, but apparently the dev got abducted by aliens and they didn't even got to enable achievements again.

A game where you have to react to the opponent to block well but the characters barely have windups so you can't do it well especially if they just keep spamming.
