About:

First Cut is a small fighting game started in 2017. Face off against a friend or fight against the computer!

Play with a gamepad, mouse & keyboard, or just a keyboard. Multiplayer is available with either two gamepads or one gamepad and a keyboard.

Controls:

Mouse and Keyboard:

  • Left Click = Attack
  • Right Click or C = Dodge
  • Mouse = Aim Sword
  • WASD = Move
  • Middle Mouse or V + direction = Shove

Keyboard:

  • Z = Attack
  • X = Dodge
  • Arrow Keys = Move/Aim Sword
  • C + direction = Shove

How to Play:

Attacking:

  • Press attack for a horizontal attack.
  • Hold up while attacking for a high vertical attack.
  • Hold down while attacking for a low vertical attack.
  • Holding attack delays your attack.
  • Releasing a charged attack increases movement speed.
  • Dodging cancels an attack before it begins.

Blocking:

  • Hold your sword at the correct height to block.
  • Press attack immediately after blocking to counter.
  • When two attacks meet, they are parried.

Dodging:

  • A normal dodge ducks under horizontal attacks but is vulnerable to vertical attacks.
  • Holding up while dodging performs a sidestep, avoiding vertical attacks but being vulnerable to horizontal ones.
  • You can block while ducking but not while sidestepping.
  • Holding dodge keeps you down until released.
  • Press attack while dodging to attack after getting up.

Shoving:

  • Hold shove + forward to push your opponent away.
  • Hold shove + backward to pull your opponent closer.

Counters:

  • Blocking and attacking immediately will counter with a faster slash.

Fatigue:

  • Blocking, missing swings, and being shoved build up fatigue.
  • Fatigue slows down attacks slightly.
  • It recovers quickly when not performing actions.
  • Fatigue can be minimized by dodging, aiming carefully, and using movement.

Game Objective:

The first attack to connect wins the round.
