Swordmin'z Dream is a mini-maximalist two-to-four player fighting game focused around quick matches and a volatile neutral space. Built with an emphasis on fast, high-risk play , matches can be won or lost with a single well-placed hit, but you can turn the tide quickly with strong parry mechanics. A whole cast of strange little characters awaits, each with their own quirks and strategies. Alongside fundamental characters like SWORDMIN and BLADEMIN you'll meet characters like VERY STRONGSMIN , who has a one-hit-kill attack, SHOOTSMIN , who just Has A Gun, or Júlian St. Clair who cannot attack at all. In your travels you'll span the breadth of MINTOPIA and see all the sights it has to offer. From thriving cities to barren wastelands to tropical paradises and mountain peaks, there's always something nice to look at. Nearly every move in the game can be countered with a well-timed parry. Punches, kicks, sword slashes, bullets, balls of concentrated ki, even explosions can be swiftly deflected if your timing is right. If you have the meter for it, you can even parry out of hit stun, for high-stakes reversals. Great for parties! Four players can play two simultaneous matches with the winners facing off seamlessly. Both two-player and four-player tag-team modes are available for some chaotic fun! Lots of interesting character combinations to play around with. Team Battle is also available!! Put your matchup knowledge to the test in 3v3 duels. Movelists are small yet impactful, matches are quick, and characters have clearly defined win conditions. Swordmin'z Dream's Mini-Maximalist ethos means each design element is a small idea taken to a logical extreme.
