Hammerfight vs Arcanorum

[Scarf Guru]

I literally just got this game and is clunky, strange glitchy physics and my dpi is screwed (probably my fault since i play on 6500 dpi) but even when switching all the way down to 2000 it still glitches and is horrible, the game doesnt even fullscreen or atleast let me maximise the window, I played arcanorum (the flash game which i think copied this) a lot and am going back to it now cause it's the same but less glitches and just feels better

I hate to admit it but that flash game has more polish than hammerfight

Hammerfight>Config>Edit>Find "GFX_WINDOWED=true" set true to false, you have full screen now ;P

Where can I play Arcanorum without lags? Can I download it? In my chromium browser, it's very lagging when my mouse is on the top and fullscreen's "X" popups

hahaha so high dpi i wanna try like this too how do that?

This was quite a while ago but Flashpoint has almost all flash games if you guys want to download that, will be the least laggy most likely. Also, i just had a good logitech gaming mouse that could go up to 10-12k dpi iirc

Arcanorum was definitely more enjoyable for me. The fighting was smoother, and the mechanics made sense (Swords stab, hammers and bulkier weapons push). The dual swords mechanic was way better, granted you can't dual any random weapon like you can in HammerFight.

Lastly, it wasn't as hard and it showed a good level of progression. HammerFight killed it when they decided to add guns and armor that can cover the whole ship.

Arcanorum is about 1/10 as good as Hammerfight. The mechanics, story, music, weapon variety and design of Hammerfight are infinitely more compelling then Arcanorum. Not to mention the tone and satting are a lot more immersive and original.

Some of the guns are absolutely bonkers though, especially when combined with armor, like in the arena, where you can't tell what's going on until you die because of 10 bombs exploding at the same time and knocking you into a wall. The game would have been a lot better with guns and explosives having more of a supportive role, doing knockback and removing armor, instead of completely pulverizing you. Dual weapons become slow and hard to swing as a tradeoff, which makes them suboptimal, though still very fun.
