This is a neat indie FPS with a bit of souls-like mechanics i.e. you can dash out of the harms way (no iframes though) and parry and riposte for a satisfying counter attack.

Highly skill-based melee-focused FPS with very tight controls, unforgiving combat and classic level design.

I found the graphics nice, but I wanted to turn off some post processing effects like motion blur and there is no option on settings to turn that off.
