We play the demo of “Shady Knight,” a first person melee game that we played in its game jam version for a previous episode. In a word, this game slaps. We talk about why that is, and how the game uses clever design choices to make melee combat feel both impactful and dynamic.    Find the game here (when it releases): https://store.steampowered.com/app/1155650/Shady_Knight/ And follow the creator on Twitter: @cptnsigh

145 - Shady Knight (Demo)

This week, the boys explore the juicy and brutal Shady Knight by Alexey Sigh (@cptnsigh on twitter). The game’s hectic but satisfying first-person sword combat prompts a discussion of camera perspective, melee combat, and spatial awareness in action games. This discussion causes a few realizations, including the revelation that DOOM 2016 has perhaps more in common with a melee action game than other first person shooters, and that Skyrim’s combat is, indeed, pretty boring.  Be sure to play the game for yourself on itch: https://cptnsigh.itch.io/shady-knight And also make sure to follow Alexey on twitter to see updates on the full version of this game
