Work in progress here! There are new game mechanics, quality of life improvements AND TWO NEW CHARACTERS ON THE WAY!


Yep, pretty much it! Two new characters are going to join the (already quite massive) roster:

  • Mira Knef, a Brazilian businesswoman with German heritage who uses a system of buffs as an advanced gameplay mechanics;

  • Lazor Loyra, a red-skinned mercenary of unknown origin who bases all his style on single, high damaging hits INCLUDING A K.O. PUNCH.

As for game mechanics, there have been several changes compared to the current beta:

  • there is a new quick sidestep (up up, down down) mechanics, together with a backstep cancel;

  • armored grounded reversals for the cost of 1 Bullet Counter have been added, allowing for a safe wakeup;

  • also, foreground recovery ukemi is now a thing (up + T while landing);

  • blocking hits in the corner will push the opponent away;

These changes will be made into a consistent version further down the line. If you want to put your hands on an early bird version of this changes (Mira included), be sure to pay a visit to the official Discord server. https://discord.gg/vXKrvpV

To celebrate its 5th anniversary, I've written an article about the very first, janky, SCHWB alpha from 2017! Thank you to all of you who followed the game since its inception despite the jank!

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.

I got suddenly nostalgic for old game magazines (please, forgive my typo, it was pride yourself on, not of, darnit)

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)

The impossible happened! Schwarzerblitz was featured at EVO 2022 in the Indie Showcase stream, so YES, let me repeat it, SCHWB WAS SHOWN AT EVO 2022!

Thank you all for your continued support, without you and GameJolt, this wouldn't have been possible!

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.

Schwarzerblitz - 2024 Character Popularity Survey! It takes 3 minutes to fill and will tell me more about your favorite characters! If you filled it already on Twitter, Steam or Discord, don't fill it again! Open till August 12! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJ8N2hCTAQp5AF-8sg5SDs…

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!

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