One Strike
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
One Strike is, in short, simply about parrying and riposting enemy attacks. Each enemy takes only One Strike, but you can only swing your weapon once before exhausting the move. In order to attack again, you must parry an enemy move first. This dynamic works in a way that not only rewards, but requires risky play.

This game definitely has that addictive element! Once I got over the initial frustration of trying to dodge, it kept wanting me to get further and further in the game. Good job :)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback. I definitely feel like the game has a bit of a rough start for new players since it is forcing people to play the game in a way that these types of games usually don't function. Some early scenarios that let the player get a hand for parrying enemy attacks before letting them loose would be fairly important if I were to flesh it out. Thank you!
