Sword Duel is a pixel-art fighting game built with Phaser by ilyesB, their first game made with the engine. It's not a casual button-masher wearing fighting-game clothes: the game is built from the ground up around real fighting-game fundamentals, startup, active and recovery frames, proper hitboxes and hurtboxes, blockstun, hitstun, and guard breaks.
Three Ways to Duel
- Same-keyboard duel — grab a friend, one on WASD, one on arrow keys
- Vs. CPU — practice against a bot with multiple difficulty settings
- Online — challenge a friend over the internet with no server and no install. One player hosts and shares a 4-letter room code, or hit Quick Match to get paired with whoever's waiting
The online mode runs entirely peer-to-peer over WebRTC, so there's no backend server to spin up. Host a room, share the code, and you're duelling.
