Check out our review of the game and the demo if you’d like to gather a bit more info before throwing down your Lincoln. From the description:

Hammerfight is about 2D battles of flying machines equipped with various slashing, piercing and blunt weaponry.

A unique combat system is based on realistic physics simulation, and it ties the movements of the rider to the movements of your mouse. As you wave the mouse, your rider swings his warhammer, smashing the foe into the wall!

This creates an unequaled feel of the real strike, a feel of the mass of the weapon in your hands. Simulated physics and direct mouse control creates a huge variety of possible battle techniques and an unlimited field for perfecting one’s fighting skill.
