Thrust or Trust
Brackeys Game Jam 2026
```Thrust or Trust
Trust your blade. Parry their deceit. Conquer the arena.
```Thrust or Trust is a fast-paced 3D samurai action game where you fight your way through an arena filled with enemies, chaos, and a crowd that may or may not be on your side.
Fight waves of gladiators, parry incoming attacks, and finish weakened enemies with powerful executions. The crowd can also throw crates into the arena—but trusting them might not always be the best idea.
Features
Royal Parry
Time your parry correctly to deflect enemy attacks and leave them open for a counterattack.
Execution Finishers
When an enemy is weakened, finish them with a powerful attack and enjoy some extra visual flair.
Mystery Crates
The audience occasionally throws crates into the arena. They might help you... or they might contain something you really don't want to stand next to.
Style Rank
Keep landing attacks, counters, and clean combos to increase your style rank and impress the crowd.

A small tip
