The January 22nd update rolled out for Hellish Quart, and here’s the complete list of changes and fixes added with this patch. This is a sword-fighting video game by Polish developer Kubold. The game is a 1v1 battle of two sword-wielding players who fight until the opposing player is severely injured. The game has been around since 2021 and receives regular updates that increase the gameplay. A while ago, a new one showed up and ensured you get the latest version for a better experience. Let’s deep dive into the Hellish Quart January 22nd update patch notes.

- Father Zera: fixed a bug where (LFF) Fwd, B, X combo was not triggering

- Isabella: thrust attacks now trigger anti-thrust guards instead of anti-cut
