Hellish Quart, physics swordfighting game, is out now

Bushido Blade is one of those video games that went down in legend. The 1997 PlayStation fighting game was not defined by combinations and health bars, but by fast, tense sword fights in which a single attack could kill you or your opponent. There has been little else to it since then.

Enter Hellish Quart, it’s available early today. It’s Bushid-ish – there are swords, there are duels, and there is killing with one stroke – but it goes a step further in that all your movements are physics based.
