As promised for a while, a new patch of Schwarzerblitz is now fresh out of the oven, taking into account feedback that came out of my experience at EVO too! Full patch notes follow!

Thank you to all of you who played the game at EVO too, that was an incredible experience!

Next up

Renzo had a chronic lack of Mid strikes, so I decided to try my luck at giving him at least one with some approach and counter hit combo potential (not sure how good of an idea it is, will keep testing)

SCHWB v1.6 update is (slightly) delayed to middle of June, due to a couple other indie fighting games coming out at the end of May (thus avoiding a pile-up with them). Fanart submissions for the final release are still open!

On June 1, 2024. The Red Riding Wolf will howl.

Schwarzerblitz version v1.6 is coming soon, with a new playable character, new arcade endings and a lot of system changes.

The black lightning will strike again.

Las Vegas, it's time to RIDE THE LIGHTNING!

Due to some issues with setting financial information on GameJolt, I am currently not able to offer the latest DLC through this platform.

"Tales from the Epilogue" is currently available on itch and Steam, but compatible with the GJ version of the game.

After a lot of delay (for which I apologize from the bottom of my heart), the 8-Colors Star Guardians+ free DLC costumes are now available for download! This DLC package contains the two previously released DLC packs for the Steam version!

Seven years after the first alpha, Schwarzerblitz v1.6 is out with a HUGE update!

Aaaand here's the final version, straight from the early '00s!
