The Reapers: Tournament of Destiny Unblocked

The Reapers: Tournament of Destiny strips a fighting game down to its bones. There are no combos, no special meters and no character select. Two winged reapers, blue Nomiquiel and red Omiquiel, stand on a plain gray field holding scythes, and each can only walk, swing or parry. That tiny move list makes every decision loud. Step in too far and you get cut. Guard at the wrong moment and you freeze. It is a sharp little party game to play unblocked with a friend on one laptop, made by Kilian Arjona and Valeria Sivkova for js13kGames 2022.

Anatomy of a Swing

After the GET READY and FIGHT banners, both players can move. Player 1 starts on the left, Player 2 on the right.

A scythe attack has three parts. First a short wind-up, where the blade is coming but cannot hurt anyone. Then a brief active window where it connects. Then recovery, where the attacker cannot do anything at all. Every hit takes about a third of the yellow health bar, so a round is three hits long. The round winner gets a marker under their bar, both reapers reset, and the first to two rounds takes the match.

The parry is the counter. If you guard during your opponent’s active window, their swing is cancelled and they are stunned for roughly two seconds, which is plenty of time to hit back. But a parry that catches nothing leaves you locked for a moment after it ends.

When the match is over, a white screen names the winner with a short line of story. Pick REMATCH or EXIT TO MENU.

Mind Games That Win Rounds

Hover at the edge. The blade reaches only a little past each reaper’s body. If you stand just outside that range, your opponent must walk forward before attacking, and you get to see it coming.

Punish, do not guess. The safest damage in the game comes from a missed swing. When the other reaper whiffs, they are stuck in recovery. Step in and strike right then.

Ration your parries. Mashing the guard key is the most common beginner mistake. It leaves you frozen half the time. Guard only when you are fairly sure a swing is about to land.

Watch the corners. Walking into your rival shoves them back, and once they hit the wall they have nowhere to retreat. Pressing a cornered player forces them to swing or guard, both of which you can read.

Learn ranges with T. The hitbox overlay draws each body box and the attack box during play. One practice match with it on teaches spacing faster than ten without.
