On paper it is what Hammerfight is — strong narrative focus, melee combat and historical setting — though the resemblance is mostly at that level. The common ground extends to 2D presentation and single-player focus. Where the two diverge is tone and setting: dark, oppressive atmosphere and a third-person camera.
