DISCLAIMER!

This game contains A TON of bugs. This is only the first version to be released of the game, and therefore doesn't yet have all the planned features, you can expect the rest to be added along the first half of 2026 before I move on to other projects. The game is also currently only available as WebGL here, downloadable version will be added later.

The Duelist is a turn based 1v1 fighting game inspired by the Bolognese school of fencing set in early 16th ceutry.  Actions resolve simultaneusly, whoever is the faster one attacks and the other player is given a chance to defend themselves via a quick time event. The game consists of 3-9 rounds of combat, a round ends when a player is hit, a point is awarded to the player who landed the hit, whoever has the most points when te last round ends, wins. Players can also run out of HP, resulting in the victory of the opposing player.
