Lugaru HD

Gameplay is unique and very fresh, although some elements of it are weird, e.g. how easy disarms are. There is no level design, but it is ok, since it takes only a couple of hours to beat this game (more of a demo, actually) on easy. The story is surprisingly dark. 6/10, Buy only in a bundle.

If you are planning on playing this game (which you should) Make sure you go > Properties > Betas > set oss_lugaru as the branch, it adds more options and content. I love this game so much, I would play the demo and the Open source version for countless hours, definitely over 100 hours, same with Overgrowth, Both of these games carried my childhood. This version of the game is pretty good, i appreciate that they have osslugaru as a branch that is installable, it adds a ton of extra resolution and video options. The story of this game is pretty simple honestly but short and nice, and the combat is very fun and works verywell for a 2005 game, there are so many ways to fight the enemies in this game and each way is truly satisfying. The old graphics will always be special to me, especially the soundtrack Grass1.ogg, absolutely heavenly. The thing i love about this version of the game is that it comes with 3 more fan made campaigns which are just as good if not better than the main story. my favourite story wise being the seven tasks campaign, and difficulty wise EASILY the empire campaign The empire campaign on Insane difficulty is probably the greatest challenge this game has to offer if you dont use any cheese strategies, plus its a cool revenge story which i do enjoy That said i did have some difficulties with THIS version of osslugaru, for some reason the skybox glitched and crashed constantly, if you come across this issue too, download osslugaru 1.2 from gitlab, and copy the files into the steam installation and rename the new executable from lugaru.exe to Lugaru.exe and run the game. this is the only way i know how to fix this

3D brawler emphasizing strategy and combos in equal part with mechanical skill. Attacks aren't input by clicking, but rather simply by holding left click, all contextual based and all contextually reacted to. An old-school artstyle I haven't seen anywhere since.

This game has a short but amazing story. You can complete it in about 1-2 hours. I recommend doing the tutorial because there are a lot of controls. If you are struggling, there are many tutorials on YouTube.

True action hero gameplay in a chunky wilderness Between the demo, full game, and mods, I likely sunk 100+ hours into this game before I knew Steam existed. Play this as an indie game from the mid 2000s, and you'll enjoy yourself. The fighting is novel and wild. Every level is a fighting playground, and replayability comes from creative playthroughs. The physics are simultaneously respectable (fighters ragdoll when struck) and delightfully overblown (enemies sail into the render-fog after a surprise [literal] bunny kick). Between attacks, counter-attacks, and counter-attack-counters, you'll discover your caps-lock on after every play. Worth the sub-$3 sale price. Where it lacks: Fit and finish ain't there, and you'll leave wondering why rabbits live on monoliths. Content is thin, and after a decade-plus hiatus, I finished the story mode in under a half hour. It's old-old, which has made dropped weapons erratically bouncy and the resolution settings finicky to mess with. Def change blur setting to "more compatible." Why you should play: This is a game about one thing: killer, brutal fighting, and it does this right. You won't really care why rabbits live on a stone slab because you're busy slamming enemies into said slab. Still, satisfying content is out there in the expansive unofficial-but-official "Lugaru: Temple" campaign mod. Is it way jank you have to drag and drop a couple texture and map packs to get a good story in a game you paid for? Oh yes. But what the devs (and community) got right in their extensive toils are well worth any effort on your part. What are you waiting for?? Kick some cottontail!

This game deserves more attention in context of combat system like SIFU or For Honor . I recommend this with my all heart and definitely you should try master the combat. After achieving master of the combat, you probably get a big satisfaction from this game. Highly recommended

simulates the feeling of smashing your head against a wall perfectly for all of the cowards that fear brain damage.

da rabbit kill da wolf

This game probably only is interesting for historical reasons. Since it´s basically the prototype for Overgrowth. Wile it was okay in 2005 now it aged very poorly. Better stick on overgrowth instead.

way better than overgrowth, the combat is way more rewarding and melee focused. the parkour is more stiff but less restrictive than overgrowth. the story is also better
