Yesterday, what is probably the greatest trailer you will ever see was released. It also being Father’s Day, that trailer was of course for indie Sword-em-upDad by the Sword.
The websitecan explain the game way better than I ever could:
“Dad By The Swordis a game about YOUR DAD running around in jorts and slaying Anti-Dads with a claymore. Experience a unique First Person Swordplay experience as you try not to get killed by hot dogs. Outsmart your enemies, destroy weak points in their armor, and then slice right through them. It’sDark SoulsmeetsGone Homemeets some game with a dad in it.”
I think this is looking pretty rad. The comparison toDark Soulsput me off slightly, but only until I saw the gameplay. From the low-poly art style to the enemy dismemberment, toyour dadbeing the main playable character, everything they’ve shown so far has been very appealing. Just like your dad. I have a feelingDad by the Swordis going to be very special indeed.
It’s due for release sometime in either late 2015 or early 2016, so itsfatheraway than I’d like it to be. But is that really adadthing?
