I see you're taking cues from Hatred :P . Very nice combat system. I was surprised that the game actually had a narrative arch too! Good job!

Doesn't have enough going on. Feels almost like a game meant to cash in on controversy, in my opinion. People running away and unexpectedly drawing swords in even the first area would greatly benefit it.

You (the player) is indeed a monster in this...

"Why yes, those villages have to die too, they thought the king is a good man!
...
Nah, you're right. I just wanted to try my new axe."

"That throne had to be dismantled!
Where will the king sit now! Ha! I've destroyed all the chairs in the realm too! I want to see that king's face of rage and despair when he'll have to sit on the floor!"

Ouch! This game does make me feel like a monster for killing the innocent villagers. I like that button in the menu. Very meta. Doesn't look like you ran out of time. Pretty solid game.

Wait a second, Mouse 2 to throw axe? Damn it I played through the whole game with only melee XD

That was horrible and fun in a sick way.
Some sound would be nice.

Very satisfying! Probably the best game I have played so far.

Hey! You commented in my game "Aye The Destroyer".

I'm just making sure that you know that you can move using WASD. I forgot to tell that in-game. It's now fixed and it should take care of most of the difficulty issue. If you could give me your updated thoughts I would be very glad.

Thank you!

If it had children and animals it would have been even more grim. Good work! Impressive for 48h. Blood could've stayed inside the houses, breaks the "immersion" a bit.

Help??! No one can help you, PEASANT!

Cool combat system, perhaps a little more difficulty would make it more fun. As an artist, I think you guys could have used a couple more frames for the art but this was a fun, mindless hack and slash regardless. Good job, guys!
