Bonjour, mon ami’s – more Sacre Bleu news here: the bullet-time/aerial-ballet combat game from Hildring Studio and Noodlecake is getting a demo during the Steam Next Fest, and have released a gameplay trailer on top of that.

Look at ol’ fancy pants with ‘aerial-ballet’! To the layman, that’s ‘hack n’ slash with lots of jumping about. Still, set in the heart of 17th-century France, expect to see some sword clashing and elegant blunderbuss blasts. Not a euphemism.

Key features include:

  • Bullet time combat as you ricochet through midair!
  • Blunderbuss propulsion that can be used as a weapon or for platforming!
  • Combat grades that unlock tougher levels to test your skills!
  • Stylized action in gorgeous 3D environments!
  • Vast prison regions like the armoury, sewers full of hidden secrets!
  • Speedrunning leaderboards!

Sacre Bleu will be heading to the PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch later this year.
