This is another look at Hellish Quart, this is a sword fighting game which is still in early access.
I take another look at this enjoyable PC game using my Xbox controller.
This time I check out the top-down view or overhead view for a better fighting experience in my opinion. I also try out the button combinations and see what they do.
Each character has a different style of fighting, which is really good and I look forward to the introduction of other playable characters in the game. I am also looking forward to the SP story and see how that pan outs. The game mechanics are really solid for an early access game, I just hope they implement some of my following suggestions:
1. More grappling moves
2. More striking if the player is disarmed
3. Unique finishing move for each character, or a few generic ones that can be gained as the player gains for experience from each fight they survive.
4. The ability to rush in
5. Combos
6.The use of Double-handed weapons. Historically the use of daggers was also employed.
7. Shield's
8. Kick dirt in the face of opponents
9. Distrcutable and useable objects from the environment
10. More fighting areas
11. Crowd's
12. Throws when in contact
13. Disarm techniques
14. Time limit for each round with wounds carried over into the next round
15. Point scoring for hitting different parts of the body for less lethal bouts
16. Training area for practising
17. More leg attacks with swords and kicks

ABOUT THIS GAME
A fighting game about sword duelling, in which the blades really clash using physics, and the characters use motion-captured fencing techniques. Play as one of many 17th century warriors and use sabres, rapiers, broadswords and many other blades in the single-player campaign, arcade, or local multiplayer with friends.
 physical Sword Fighting using Active Ragdolls
 super realistic, motion-captured fencing animations
 beautiful 3d scanned graphics
Hellish Quart uses active ragdolls and all damage your blade can do is calculated with realtime physics. Four gamepad buttons represent 4 attack angles. Different button combinations give special attacks and combos. If you are not attacking, your character will automatically try to hold guard against your opponent's attacks. The blades really block each other and that's what's keeping you alive. To win, you must use proper timing, measure, technique, speed and wits - just like when fencing in the real world.
Hellish Quart has a historical setting. The game takes place in 17th century Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The character models are made using 3D scanned clothes, based on fashion from the period, and the single-player campaign (when done!) will be firmly rooted in realities of life in the region. You will duel Zaporozhian Cossacks, Polish Hussars, Tatars, Turkish Janissaries, Swedish Reiters, French Musketeers and more.
