I don't know how many of you have tried this but I just got done watching a game between some friends of mine and I have to say I'm honestly impressed.
It's beautiful and VERY addicting.
The bots aren't as bad as I expected but nothing beats a human.
Great job folks!

only thing I could think of that could put this over the top (its already pretty orginal) is some kind of sword fighting system. Maybe a fencing sytle system or something. For the sword weapon.
