Swordfighter 'Blade Symphony' has now officially gone free to play

Quoting: GuestI bought this a while back and have never been able to get it to start, even after updates.
Strange, I've never had an issue. FYI, though, it works well in Steam Play/Proton, I was playing it on Wine before it went native...

It's a pretty interesting fighter, not exactly easy to get into as there's quite a lot of mechanics involved but that's part of what makes it so interesting. I absolutely recommend doing the training before going in for a fight online as it's essential due to the different stances and moves available.
Does anyone else feel like those mechanics are a bit off? Like, even if you learn them, I have a hard time making them meaningful in combat. In, say, Clone Drone in the Danger Zone (Proton), I feel like I have pinpoint control over my swordplay. Same for the classic Jedi Academy. Here, I never feel that way.

Quoting: BotonoskiI don't think I actually have many nostalgic memories attached to any of those things really.
Having lived and gamed in that era and played those games, I have nice memories, but no nostalgia for them at all. I find this whole pixel art and retro gaming phenomenon completely baffling. I spent that era wishing we had the graphics, services, and gameplay that we now enjoy today. So, I guess I'm living for the gaming momemt...

Quoting: linuxjacquesI too am happy to see the ultrawide support.
Working perfectly for me. Beautiful game. Question: is the option to select your fighter working for you at the beginning of a mission? If so, how are you choosing it?
Tab key :P
Strangely, isn't working for me... Need to check my bindings. Thanks...

Same here. It's zoomed in and in some cases broken because of it. Try rebinding keys, top/bottom are cut off.
On closer look, you are correct, sir. You should report that bug. I also tried it in Proton, and it's the same there...

Looks and runs brilliant in any case.

My pointer isn't working on the Linux build so I can't select anything. The game seems to work perfectly in Proton, however.

I'm a big fan of this title and have played both campaigns all the way through. I love the engine but feel some modifications have made things a bit off. I'd like better momentum directionality, and for left and right thrusters to have more effect. Also, it feels like the enemy is EMP bombing me like mad, so much so I really can't do much in some missions. The dev has been on and off responsive on Discord, I'll reach out there...
