This was great, I loved learning about the Teutonic Knights for university and frankly wish there were more games set in the Northern Crusades. The gameplay was difficult at first, but once I got the timing right on blocking (and figured out the exploit of standing on a rock to deal with enemies when at low health) it started to click. For me its that nice balance where you can win but also get to that point of "Oh shit I might die". The sound was quite nice, with the ominous chanting and strings in the background, and the clanging of metal on metal felt nice. The art looks good with the blood covered armor on the main character, and the grass blowing in the wind in the foreground was very nice.

The mythology connection I'd say is weaker than many in this jam, but I do like that its more grounded. On the history side on the other hand, I like seeing Hermann von Salza name dropped in a game.

Excellent work, especially for only one week!

Really glad you enjoyed the game! The team did great with this one and I think our product was good, of course, there was more we wanted to add, but I'm glad you enjoyed what you got.

Thank you for your kind words! For the mythological side we tried to introduce it from the crusaders side of view: Discovering a heathen, "devilish" people, with their own myths & legends. But with the time constraint we couldn't introduce as much as we had hoped for. Great you recognized Hermann von Salza! :)
