Episode 3: Intent to Kill

Get your angry comments ready! We talk about why Until You Fall is more realistic and immersive than Boneworks or Blade and Sorcery.

We rave about Until You Fall and investigate why its take on melee combat is so much more compelling than those in Blade and Sorcery and Boneworks. The physics-based simulationism of Boneworks seems super popular on Twitch, Twitter, and Reddit. Why are we championing a cartoony, abstract approach and saying it is more realistic and immersive? Listen to find out!
