Description
Violent side view fighting game, battle 5 different armies, cutting enemies in half, decapitating them, impaling them on spears, kicking heads at them... At the end of each level, there is a skilled boss to beat, with their own fighting moves, appearance, voice and death animation
How to Play
WASD - Movement

L - Kick

Controls customisable within the game. More instructions in the game
My tips for beating 2 swordsmen standing right next to each other:
a) Use shield to get close then break a knee of one, then back away and then kill the other.
b) use a running shield bash to knock over one, then kill the other
c) use a jumping attack to kill one of them.
d) Throw a spear at them
e) kick a head at them to knock one over and kill the other
Developer Updates

Pressing "down" to kill a fallen enemy feels more intuitive to me than "up", but I can see how that might make it a bit too easy (time taken for instant kill is too fast). Would it be possible to ensure that it doesn't miss, at least? For me, the biggest annoyance would be when Achilles turns away from the soldier I've just knocked down, so that even though I jump in the right direction and hold "up" he fails to make the killing blow.
direction he is facing shouldnt make a difference. There is a problem with it sometimes missing if you are a fair distance away. I will try and fix it tomorrow

Archer: I'll stand back here and shoot arrows blindly!
Spearman: Meh, I'll attack you if I feel like it
Swordmen: DIE &!^(# DIE! -flails sword wildly-
Seriously though, The swordmen don't let up, and if you get two on chapter 5 at the same time, you're screwed.
I suggest don't let 2 gang up on you. If they do, use your shield to get close, then break a knee. Or, kick a head at them to knock one over. Or throw a spear. Running shield bash is another way. Or jumping attack if you can time it...

Excellently executed, my only bad comments are the freezing and that I think you should only allow only two enemy soldiers to overlap because there were three swordsmen on top of each other and it was literally impossible for me to kill them. It's kinda like in warlords.
There are never more than 2 enemies in existence at a time. To kill 2 on top of each other, i would recommend one of the following: a) Use shield to get close then break a knee of one, then back away and then kill the other. b) use a running shield bash to knock over one, then kill the other c) use a jumping attack to kill one of them. d) Throw a spear at them
