Bumping this for a heads-up.. the game has been released! Complete, full, intact and ON STEAM.

It also has a pretty solid translation. There’s some odd phrasing and vocabulary in places, but it’s perfectly coherent and understandable.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/41100/ – $10/7 Euros, probably around £5

Get it now. Oh, it also has same-system multiplayer if you plug in multiple USB mice.

@dominic white: Yeah I liked hammerfall too but it’s also the name of a metal band so he probably needed to avoid trademark problems

the .21 release’s english though shoddy helped me understand the game a lot more

Well none of this makes any sense, of course, but I’m interested in seeing this in a language I comprehend. Good work, Russian gave developers!

The English translation is in the process right now. When an English demo will be released – I do not know, depends on Konstantin, yet as far as I know he hopes to do it as soon as possible.

It is tough, doing a game on your own, especially with such level of detail.

I really liked the demo of this way back when it was last posted. I didn’t realise it wasn’t actually released. I was getting my money card out of my wallet as I was playing the demo, then hit a level that I couldn’t beat, so didn’t go to try to buy it. Not much point buying a game if you can’t get past the demo. :)

They definitely seem to have added a lot of style and polish to the game since the last version. One thing I particularly like is how your helicopter now feels like a vehicle, rather than a weighted mouse cursor. The engine pops and stutters as you move around, and revs violently, shaking the machine and spewing out smoke as you pull it into a high-torque swing.

I’m kinda on the fence about the title though – while The History of Hammerfight IS totally awesome (and would also make for the best history book ever – the history of dudes hitting dudes with hammers), Hammerfall had a slightly classy edge to it.

Loved the original demo of this, very steep learning curve but ultimately a very satisfying little thing. Nice to see it back in existence again.

@Duckmeister:
You have to create a profile first. Next to the circle with the word ‘solo’ in it (which lets you select a mode), there are a selection of circles with ‘plus’ buttons in them. Click on any of those and a default player name will pop up. Either press ‘Enter’ to select it, or press backspace and type your own name. Now you’ve created the profile, you’ll see a picture of your copter, with a ‘play’ button below it. Press that to begin.

really strange game…doesn’t seem to make much sense. Setting is weird, characters are weird, and the game-play is definitely very very weird.
