definitely a Souls-Borne child and I love it! I will probably come back to this experience for a while after raging playing other souls games. Thank you so much Alessandro!
Thank you for playing it! I'm glad that the high difficulty of the game was appreciated. Confirming that it is a Souls-Borne child makes me very happy! :D
The combat is really bland. From what I have experienced, it is very slow. The block just reducing damage just makes it worse than a dodge. Especially when the reduced damage can barely be felt. Also, why can't attack animations be canceled when you try to block? I get that animation canceling could be a problem that comes with that but speeding up the combat would make it much more enjoyable.
Right now, the only good thing I can say about this is that it looks great, but when the only thing there is to do is kill enemies, you would expect combat to be more interesting.
It's supposed to be hard, like dark souls or any other Souls-Borne series such as salt and santuary, Nioh, Sekiro, BloodBorne, Demon souls, and the list goes on. In real life, if you swing something around with all your strength and heavy then you can't stop it. That way you wait more for your opponent to move first. The gameplay is not a bombastic, action "Kick the enemies' butt and send them to hell" type of thing. It's slow and methodical combat system makes it more rewarding to your brain when you defeat a hard boss or just killing the nobodys, Every kill is a win.
Awesome game! Its a bit hard for me to run but its great fun. Because of the frames I couldn't get past the third enemy. However that's fine, great piece overall.
This is absolutely a beautiful game. A little rough around the edges, but the graphics are very impressive and the gameplay essentials are covered. I'm wondering though -- why did you leave it in an unfinished free state? I reckon you could have developed this into a full-blown game and sold it for a pretty good price.
Hi idilsila13, I am sorry you had issue with the game. Can you extract the zip. folder? Did you open CloseCombatSwordsman.exe? Can you meet the Minimum system requirements ( the one you find in the description )? Let me know :)
hi! sorry for the late responding and thank you for trying to help. I upgraded my pc and now I can play it so I guess it was my problem lol. have a nice day.
Hi, this game looks really good, and I want to play it; but when I click launch nothing happens. Itch will say that the game is running, but that's it; there's no error, no window, nothing at all
Is there another source to download the game from?
game looks great, but there no sound options, only one type of enemy, the combat is super wonky. But if you keep going and make this into an actual game, ill definitely look forward to it.
amazing game. I love the graphics. player model could use a bit of adjustments and a few props were found floating around. but so far an amazing game. I am not sure if there is a way to heal and save or I just missed something or what but it is hands down a great game so keep up the good work.
Thank you Arkrium for playing the demo! No, I removed the healing, the demo is short and I think it would make the game far too easy if you could heal.
The atmosphere feels great, kinda like Bloodborne.But the combat itself is somehow naive though. You see, the enemy actions are pretty predictable and the player's attacks and dodges are sometimes awkward. Maybe you need to add some more animations, like light/heavy attacks.

also, it would be amazing if you can work on the combat and settings option a little bit more.
Incredible presentation and an all too familiar combat vibe - excellent work!
Thanks SoundDriver! :D

Hi konakuma, sorry for the late reply! Try a different web browser (I tested with Google Chrome and currently it is working).
"when I click launch", make sure you click the Download button.

Thanks for the video and your feedbacks! :D
I must say a very enjoyable game ^^ a little challenging as well which is really nice ^^ thank you fof game I enjoyed it.
Thank you BunnyTClub for playing! I like hardcore games and I wanted to add a bit of challenge on my prototype as well :D
Will you be using these assets for the final production?
At the moment there is not any plan to release a final game, but technically all these assets could be use in the final version.

Thank you Jon404 for your feedback! I agree with adding more animations, it is something that I should have done :)
Game ran very well for me. Graphics and art style were top notch. Only change Id like to see is maybe combat sounds. Other than that, fantastic demo!!
Thank you Hallowynd for your video! I really enjoyed wathing you playing it! :D
