About BackSlash
challenge the AI, or try your hand at over 2 dozen quests.
Inspired by classics of fighting and modern battle games alike, BackSlash explores a new and accessible way to enjoy technical fights.
Easy to learn, hard to master, its unique style combination system and accelerating duels will offer you fast tactical situations
under a constant power feedback. Players can access all of their selected clans' spells from the beginning without having to learn
complicated controller inputs - you can cast spells with just the press of a button.
In the world of Angwaii, a duel is a dance of death and destruction where any style can be combined and everything can be destroyed. Find your very own style, outsmart your opponent with mind and skill to dominate.
Features
- 10 unique and specialized clans to unlock. Experiment and combine how you see fit, from the deadly Blade Whistle to the disturbing Marsh Trackers.
- A brutal close combat system to combine with 33 highly interactive spells: perform devastating combos with martial art and sorcery..
- Fully destructible arenas! The battlefield changes as your raging fights reduce the various stages around the Angwaii world to dust.
- Dynamic pace in fights. Matches speed up as time passes. Tactics change and a of turn of events is always possible.
- Two distinct solo modes: Quest Mode (unique fights and challenges) and Survival Mode (how many duels can you win before falling?)
- Classic Versus Mode to bring it on with your friends.
History
Made by Thomas Olsson at Skeleton Crew Studio in Kyoto, Japan, BackSlash was born under influences such as intense PVP experiences, Japanese action anime and
Hong Kong kung-fu cinema. BackSlash is a one-man team made game supported and produced by experienced artists and game developers.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
There's a strong game inside here, with interesting takes on Smash Bros-style game mechanics, and even if it seems unfair at times (like, super unfair, on higher levels the AI can and will chain you into knock-down combos right when you get up), it's fast and engaging enough to still be fun and keep you playing. It feels good to play, and it's great with friends. But: although I do recommend it, I have to point out that there are some pretty hard flaws. This isn't even about how fair or unfair the AI is, this is just quality of life stuff. Even if the gameplay is solid, and the music great, it's wrapped up inside some questionable menu design choices that bog everything down more than necessary. I feel like this could be a real hidden gem on Steam if there were just a few changes, some very simple, and some that would require heavy overhauls: - Different game modes. For a platform fighter like this, it's weird that the only game mode is 1-on-1 deathmatch. Even if the developer insists on not adding any 4-player mode, something else really should be included; as it is, it just doesn't feel like one or two modes is enough content to justify the price tag. - More settings to change. …14 found this helpful
Concept is okay if not unoriginal there are two action buttons a quick attack and a special attack that has a bar to fill. what really annoys me is how to to characters fighting are just randomly attacking I am sure there are way to trigger moves but its done by accident so often the fighting in this fighting game becomes unresponsive and annoying to play. the sound track isn't often HYPE the fight stages are cool. maybe in co-op this would be fun but I never intended to play it that way. I bought on sale and still I was very disappointed.3 found this helpful
