About KAESHI

The free demo is out now! It includes all of Chapter 1 and two boss fights. KAESHI is a solo project.

About the game

KAESHI is a 2D action game that mixes '90s arcade beat 'em ups with Sekiro-style parry swordplay. Parry enemy attacks to break their posture, and when they open up, finish them with a Deathblow. Enemies hit hard, so swinging blindly will get you killed quickly.

Features

•
Clang-clang-clang parry chains There is no guard button. Parry each hit of an enemy's flurry with the right timing. The parry window is fairly generous.
•
Fast combos A five-hit combo that continues with every press. Launch enemies with a rising cut and follow up in the air.
•
Enemies that parry back Samurai enemies and bosses take a guarding stance and knock your blade away. Dash behind them to get around the stance.
•
Reel, stagger, Deathblow Enemies whose posture breaks start to reel, and if you keep up the pressure they become staggered. Staggered enemies can be finished with a Deathblow, and there are several finisher animations.
•
Perfect dodge Dodge right before an attack lands to slow time for a moment and counter with a dash slash.
•
Anime-style art and Japanese voice acting The game takes place in a rainy mountain village, a bamboo forest and an old shrine. Cutscenes are voiced in Japanese, with subtitles in 14 languages.
•
Three difficulty levels Choose Easy, Normal or Hard and change it at any time. Parry and dodge timing are the same on every difficulty.
