Soiled Iron (2024, drmortalwombat)

An exciting and well-designed fighting game, probably inspired by the Barbarian series of games while there are also some of game elements from Ninja and Fist II: The Legend Continues games.

Soiled Iron is a classic two-opponent sword fighting game. It offers a quest mode and a one-on-one fighting experience.

The game has several game modes available at start-up: Quest and Match. In addition to the selection of machine players of different difficulty levels and the game preview demo, a two-player mode can be selected.

Fighting is controlled with the joystick, more passive actions require no button. You can only defend when not moving.

There are three main attack types:

• Basic attacks at upper, centre and lower position. They can be
  repelled with appropriate defending stances. Upper and lower
  attacks are only effective with one step distance and are slightly
  slower than centre attacks. Repelling an attack stuns your
  enemy for a short period.
• Kicks cause no damage but push your enemy back and cause a
  momentary loss of equilibrium, so best to follow up with an
  attack.
• Spinning attacks require a two-step distance, take slightly longer
  but cannot be repelled by your opponent. You can evade a
  spinning attack by rolling or stepping back or you can interrupt
  it with a centre attack at the right moment – hitting your
  enemy during the movement.

Your quest is to find and kill the wizard, deposing of his guards and
minions on the way. You start your journey on the castle ramparts
and work your way down through the halls and dungeons of the
residence. Make sure to look into all chests to gain riches and
equipment.

The game can be downloaded in several instalments and you should also download the manual, which contains all the necessary information.
