Ink Parry: Sword Fighting Game

Attacks fly in from every side. Slash the instant they touch the circle in this ink-brush sword fighting parry action game.

Ink Parry is all about timing and reflexes. Perfect is ±60 ms. Time it right and a red seal stamps down; keep it going and the brush numbers grow. Collect Boons on a 20-stage roguelike Journey, lock blades in boss fights against bosses that walk and charge, and play it all offline. Made by a solo developer in Korea.

New in 1.1: final boss Mukgwi waits at the end of the Journey. Beat a boss and a checkpoint is saved, so a fall only sends you back to it. Finish the Journey to unlock Ascension 1–10.

■ Every attack moves your hand differently
· Arrow — swipe toward it and cut
· Fire arrow — don't swipe. Let it pass
· Mace — catch it and hold on
· Twin axes — block the pair one at a time
· Sweeps — duck the blade, jump the chain
· Armored Warrior — break the plates as it walks in
· Nets — tap to tear it when it falls on you
· Shuriken — block it and it ricochets back from another side
· Boulder — swipe across its lane to deflect it
· Musketeer — hear the bang, block the shot on time
· Singijeon — a rocket volley circles you; block each one

■ Four ways to train
· Journey — a roguelike run: pick one of three Boons at the start and after every boss. 21 Boons in three grades (Normal · Rare · Legend) and their combos make every run a different road, with final boss Mukgwi at Stage 20. Beat a boss and a checkpoint is saved; fall, and you continue from there. Finish it to unlock Ascension 1–10.
· Duels — 32 opponents across four chapters, and six boss fights. Bosses walk, charge and use signature moves; when blades lock, tap to push back. Break a boss's Momentum and it unleashes a Killing combo. Clear them all and the Masters await.
· Daily — a new rule every day: firestorms, lanterns, boss rushes, Perfect-only…
· Endless training — keep your timing against ever-faster attacks and climb the ranks.

■ The feel of ink
Sword fighting action drawn in ink: brushstroke slash trails, ink splatter, gayageum strings and janggu drums, inspired by Korean martial arts and Joseon-era scholars. Every image and sound is generated in code, with no image or audio files. Dress up your gat, robe, sword, slash trails and judgment seals, and earn titles through achievements. Wear a full set (gat, robe, slash trail) for a small bonus ability.
