The ultimate warrior technique

[laggyluk]

Do you guys try to learn how to fight or just flail at random and hope for the best?

Update to my previous post, doing this is literally far more efficient

Yeah, lol. Two of those short broad-bladed axes turn you into a human lawnmower. Best setup until you start picking up swords.

yeah it's really annoying at times can't really do much, AI has too good of an aim. Take a chair with 2 arms and just try to deflect the weapons at the begining that's a good start, once you get the idea how it works it gets in pretty quickly

It's still a demo tho so a lot of things are wonky but game is funny

Doesn't help the first boss's gimmick is that defense is useless. Even having your weapons connect with the scythe is instant death.

The stool begs to differ.

Also the hammers I got are for crushing enemies nuts and heads because killing people with a stool takes a long time, and it is no nut november either way.

my best tactic so far is long candle stick in one hand to try and keep their weapon away and short-medium blade to slice em up close

Candelabra and Stool are pretty busted as defensive items I'll have to agree.

I do my best to imitate semi-realistic sword fighting, keep them at distance for thrusts, thrust into the neck and shoulder area if the chest area is armed and so on. If they are close enough for full slashing I try to deflect their weapon and slice underneath their arms where there's little to no protection to disarm or disable and/or slice at the feet to stagger or disable, if I have a short enough sword I cant to that at a decent melee range I go for the neck or hitting hands to disarm and then tackle (I just flail until the short sword hits an exposed pixel for this since its too jank to actually tackle someone let alone consistently hit a weak spot on a standing fighting guy bigger than an exposed neck) and kill with a stab in the groin, armpit, or neck.

I find semi-methodical swordplay where I try to act as if I'm a swordsman much more enjoyable than just flailing my arms around until the enemy dies, its more fun when its endless enemies after the final boss and they're all full arm leg and chest protection with random chance for a neck guard and/or shoulder pauldrons and you actually have to do it methodically every time. Flailing with knives is the thing you do until you get past the first boss, then it is real swordplay time :3

Random flailing gets me well past first boss but usually I get speared at some point

Yea spearmen honestly kind of ruin this game. It seems complete rng on how theyre dealt with half the time. Its either, you deflect the spear and successfully get in to kill them or, you go to deflect the spear and, because of physics, the tip end of the spear somehow clips even an inkling of your fingers and just completely disarms you and goes straight into an impalement. So unless you get lucky and get gauntlets its just try to deflect and pray it goes your way. Two handed sword is REAL good against spear guys but yea lol.. You dont start getting that untill after like the third boss.

the long sword is on top No technique needed just flail it and you easily cut the throat of a knight

for sure. for spearmen i've found just straight up tackling them and going wild with short swords/knives is the way to go.

Two axes, just swinging left and right kinda does the job up until the first scythe guy. Defeating him is a matter of luck with this approach

[Hammer]

Depending on the weapon you can be pretty accurate. Was smoking people timing the sword attack.

[Shari]

till yet every move i thought "oh this have to be the most op move" there is still a counter move... so it doesn't depend on your weapons but more on how you use them...
like in real life an idiot can lose even with a sword against someone with a knife who uses his weapon in a more effective way!

stay def and wait your enemies mistake for example a whiffing attack and go for the punish but also check your back (i do even in a fight randomly a 360 to check there are no adds) - don't walk just towards your enemy and try to attack - even with the best weapons you may lose

i love it how a simple and unfinished game can be so good (compared to 2023 AAA games) :D

i can tell by this that you didn't beat the game

Beat it quite easily actually. Its not hard at all if you just rush in.

Big weapon is best

[tbrsim]

Once you get gauntlets you can activate an alternate sword technique with a single RMB click. This is left hand on blade, the tip cuts and pierces and the handguard works as a blunt weapon. Works best with the two large bihanders.
