Ooh, I will take a look and expect some nostalgia!

Not the commenter you asked but… I played Rapier Punch on the Vic20 and I can’t remember anything else. I never knew anyone else with one so maybe not that popular?

I met the two brothers that made dizzy. They told me the that the IP is still owned by their old company and that’s why they could never make more. It was one of my favourite games as a kid, played on the Amstrad CPC and it was sad to know there were never more due to this.

I agree with you on the ending. It felt like they intentionally left a lot unresolved to encourage calls for a second season, at the expense of the story. It would have been much better if there was some resolution to a few aspects and/or a hint at the fallout of the actions in the season.

Good subtle world building, too.
