Bristol, UK / September 26, 2024 - Falling Limbs, the exciting and bloody samurai-inspired platform fighter, made its small screen debut today during the Convergence Games Showcase. To celebrate, developer Archive 11 has announced that players can enjoy a hands-on experience with the game’s first-ever demo, available on PC today via Steam!
Falling Limbs is a 2D fighter featuring hand-drawn, ukiyo-e artwork and unique combat that embodies the game’s samurai-inspired visual style.
