Story

Dashwalk Dueling started as an attempt to recreate my favorite mechanic from my favorite game. At the time I didn't have access to the game, but I wanted to dash around in it more than anything.

Before I knew it I had taken things far beyond just that simple prototype; I started bringing my laptop to local tournaments to get feedback from players in the community. Players had a great deal of fun with the game and I did my best to hone joy and help it to flourish. Dashwalk Dueling has been my opportunity to turn the platform fighting genre on its head. Experimenting with new ideas while having the privilege to test them out several times a month with my huge family and at fighting game tournaments.

Dashwalk Dueling’s soul is cemented in competitive play. Players at small fighting game tournaments have playtested throughout development and defined what the game is today. The game gives players of all skill levels the opportunity to find their own sword-fighting style. The various game modes allow players to explore the game's atypical gameplay and sea of unique mechanics, regardless of skill level or circumstance.
