Set in a fantasy realm, you're a sword-swinging knight out to slay evil creatures and rescue your mate. The game is played from a cinematic over-the-shoulder view, and you are given full control over how your character moves and swings your sword. As opposed to the "Street Fighter" style of character controls, you have full freedom to move your sword as you wish, allowing an infinite number of sword and body movements. A motion physics simulator allows a vast array of swashbuckling combinations to dispatch your enemies.
