It sounds a bit like there are some Witcher music inspirations in Hellish Quart, too. Have a listen for yourself with the trailer below.
Hellish Quart will have a singleplayer campaign and an arcade mode, as well as local multiplayer if you fancy whacking your mates with some cool swords. Kisiel has cited 90s fighting game Bushido Blade as an inspiration. As mentioned before, it features mocapped animations, and swords properly clash together when you’re duelling. If, like me, you like seeing how mocap is done, there’s some great stuff on Kubold’s Twitter. I don’t know what I expected when they said the fighting techniques were motion captured, but yeah, that sure is a person in full fencing gear and lots of mocap dots.
