Hellish Quart is a physics-based fighting game developed by Kubold. It is set in the medieval period – specifically, in the 17th century – and is focused on sword fighting. In this regard, it is similar to MORDHAU, but don’t be fooled; these two games are very different. While MORDHAU is a multiplayer game that simulates large battles, Hellish Quart is all about 1v1 duels.
Singleplayer is an important part of the game. Even now, in Early Access, the game features 4 different SP modes: Versus AI, Survival, Sparring, and History Buff. A story mode, with cinematic cutscenes, is planned for the full release. Multiplayer support, on the other hand, is currently poor. Although Hellish Quart can be played with your friends over the internet, both you and your friend will need to use Steam Remote Play Together.
But don’t forget, this is a physics-based fighting game. What does this mean? To put it simply, the game uses realistic physics when simulating the bodies of both combatants. This means realistic movements, and also realistic damage. But this is still a fighting game: timing, combos, and blocking will be essential to success.
Although this is a Windows-only game, you can play Hellish Quart on Mac as well. There are several ways to do this; some of them are described in the guide below.
