Fencing positions in the game are based upon so called German school of swordsmanship, first described by Hans Talhoffer in 15. century. In this game, it's not sufficient for victory to slash your opponent as fast as possible. You must react to enemy attacks, block them, evade them and quickly strike back to his weak spots. Your skill with the sword allows you to unfold a thrilling story, and finish it in the second, final, much harder part. The idea behind was to make a game where it's important to check what your opponent is doing with his sword, like in real combat, and to accent the importance of proper blocking. The idea of a pseudo-3d background moving around you is very impressive.
Instructions: Use mouse to block, strike and dodge. But better use keyboard: arrows - block or strike, and A,S - dodge
