What players say
I have, thus far, recommended this game to everyone I know who participates in SCA Heavy and HEMA. They pretty much universally agree that it's the best armored melee combat simulator ever created. It's simple, well-executed, and beautiful. It is everything a narwhal combat game should be.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
