SPECIAL EPISODE

Have you thought that knights and honourable warriors are already long time dead in their tombs and coffins? 

Pheh! Wrong again. There are many people all around the world who still follow the ancient code of Bushido and its virtues. Practising with a sword is their daily routine and as they say, the sword is not a toy. It was made to kill. One hit kill mechanic of Die by the Blade is actually very close to reality. Check out this special doc episode, about modern samurai from a small town in Slovakia!

 During the process of designing the game, we've been consulting fighting styles and attacks with local groups practising martial arts.  The video was shot nearby Triple Hill studio's offices, in the mountains surrounding town Kosice where we are currently based. 

You know how they say ...'' inner peace is one of the signs of the master warrior..''

Every creator would tell you that the last hours of the campaign are pretty..emotional :).  Luckily, our characters are perfectly calm as you can see. Patiently waiting for you to put them into some action! 

Last few hours left to back this project!

 The primary aim of this campaign was starting up a community and to prove that there are enough players that want to see tis type of game out next year!  We are now even more motivated to make the game amazing and to push our limits! Thanks for every comment, every idea for improvement, share, like and support!

Behind every great success story are equally great challenges that need to be faced.

 We are very thankful to the community of indie devs that we are part of that they helped us on the journey!   Poetic studio, Blue Brain Games and  and many others...thanks for giving us plenty of useful tips and insights from your own past campaigns!

Gameplay explained: Feinting

All Warfare Is Based Upon Deception

What is feint? Simply said it is a manoeuvre designed to distract or mislead your opponent. You can give the impression that a certain manoeuvre will take place, while in fact another, or even none, will. As a result, your opponent might adapt the wrong stance which can prove deadly in the game where everything is on the line and every hit matters.

The old master of war Sun Tzu reminds us that deception is a primary part of the art of war. Master the art of feinting, leave an opening within your opponent's defences and leverage it your advantage with Die by the Blade!

Have you seen our commented gameplay video with Chief designer explaining all the basic features affecting the fighting mechanics? Not yet?  Enjoy!

May your swords stay sharp!
