Dresden Duels

Video Playthrough

Game Overview

Dresden Duels is a 2-player fighting game. Nicodemus Archleone is attacking the city of Chicago, and Harry Dresden must fight him to defend the city. The characters use attacks/techniques from the book: Dresden uses various Wizard spells, and Archleone uses techniques based on his denarii and sword attacks.

This 5-week group project was required to fit in the fictional world of The Dresden Files. As a team we conducted research on the world of Nicodemus and Harry Dresden and decided that a 2-player fighting game would be unique and equally fun to produce.
