Hellish Quart is a fencing game that focuses on historically accurate duels with the use of 17th-century melee weapons. Characters can dodge and counter attacks in a realistic fashion while trying to deal a fatal blow to their opponent. Thanks to the physics-based engine, duelists can sometimes kill each other simultaneously – it’s a thing that is rarely seen in similar fighting titles, but it’s something that could happen in real life, so it’s only natural to have this in a realistic physics-based sword fighting game.
Playable Characters
The game offers several playable characters to choose from, each representing a different fighting style and having a different weapon at their disposal, including broadswords, rapiers, and sabers. This significantly improves the game’s replayability, as learning to efficiently play each character can take quite a lot of time and practice.
Game Modes
The game focuses on swordplay and duels, and as such, it comes with a variety of duel-oriented modes, including quick fights and survival. It also has a local multiplayer mode, allowing players to test their skills against their friends.
Reception
The game received a lot of praise for its accurate dueling mechanics and skill-based gameplay. It’s worth noting that praise came not only from regular players and critics but also from historians and experts familiar with medieval martial arts.
