Stickman Slash came out in 2023 from a small indie developer and fits right into the 2D action-fighting genre. The idea is simple: you’re a lone stickman tossed into battle against endless waves of shadow enemies. Each round gets harder, and soon you’ll be sweating to keep up with faster attackers and tougher bosses.
The controls are light and quick. Tap the screen to swing your weapon, swipe to dodge or roll through enemies, and keep moving so you don’t get pinned. At the start, you’re weak, but every win gives coins for upgrades. Weapons range from swords and axes to bows and magic items, and each has its own feel. Armor and cloaks help you last longer, especially when the game starts throwing harder bosses at you.
Don’t rush bosses—study their moves first.
Upgrade weapons early; defense alone won’t save you.
Mix dodges and counterattacks instead of spamming strikes.
If you like fast stickman battles, Stickman Dash is another solid pick.
For a twist, Kickback Dash lets you launch a weapon across the map using its own recoil.
