Griefhelm
Quality Assurance Analyst - Thorrnet Games

DESCRIPTION

Griefhelm is a tactical dueling game with stance-based combat by Johnny Lonack and Thorrnet Games. Attacks are made either high, middle, or low, and defenders must respond in kind. Players can also shove, dash, and disarm to add extra complexity to duels.

The game can be learned in a few minutes, but advanced moves, timing, ground control, and killer instincts will keep you learning for a long time. Duel solo or with a friend for the right to climb each level of Griefhelm and reach the Last Battle. Defend the gates of Death in 4-player local or online multiplayer battles.

Released on Steam on August 20th, 2020.
