Kendōka (剣道家)
Overview:
-
In "Kandoka," players immerse themselves as kendo practitioners, competing in a local multiplayer fighting game grounded in real kendo techniques. Matches are determined by best-of-three rounds. Players score points, or Ippon, by striking three target areas: Men, Kote, and Do, with their Shinai. Defensive strategies include upper and lower blocks and counters. Players must manage their stamina, as each attack and defense action consumes energy. The game stands out with its unique non-photorealistic rendering, blending textures and shaders to create a captivating 2.5D aesthetic, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
