About Pummel Paladins

Grab a friend.
Fight honorably...or not.



“Noble paladins never fight with an unfair advantage”

Thus, when two mighty paladins at last stand against each other, even with their kingdoms at stake, one would choose to fight swordless for the weaponless other in order to preserve his honor.

Made by high school students, Pummel Paladins is a retro, top-down competitive arcade game centered around 1v1 gameplay with hand-drawn and animated original characters and monsters. Have fun outplaying and defeating your opponent by mastering the basic mechanics of pushing, parrying, as well as the utilization of the diverse environments, powerups, and monsters.

    Игра Pummel Paladins – это забавный и увлекательный платформер-файтинг, который идеально подходит для игры с друзьями. Простой, но глубокий геймплей позволяет быстро освоиться и начать получать удовольствие от динамичных сражений. Визуальный стиль, нарочито мультяшный и красочный, добавляет игре очарования. Мне особенно понравилась кастомизация персонажей, позволяющая создать уникального бойца, а также разнообразие арен, каждая из которых предлагает свои тактические преимущества и ловушки. Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту, игра требует стратегического мышления и умения адаптироваться к меняющимся условиям боя. Однако, стоит отметить, что в одиночку Pummel Paladins не так интересна, как в компании. Игра рассчитана в первую очередь на мультиплеерный опыт и взаимодействие с другими игроками. Также, хотелось бы видеть больше контента в будущем, например, дополнительных персонажей и режимов игры. В целом, Pummel Paladins – это отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет веселую и динамичную игру для вечеринок с друзьями. Рекомендую!

    "Pummel Paladins" is a high school homework assignment... yeah. That's how bad Steam is getting... we're grading people's homework. What do you do in the game? It's a 2D retro pixel top down brawler, with a "fantasy knight" theme, but a pixel blob is a pixel blob is a pixel blob. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming in…
