Every story needs an end, and in Half Sword, it often means losing your head - quite literally. As this is a simulation game, death is final…
Be Warned: Half Sword is an extremely violent and gory game. I mean… we do have a Chief Blood Officer. Witness skull-crushing blows, limb decapitations, and gruesome displays of entrails and bloodshed, all intricately tied to the weapon and armor choices of both you and your opponents.

Reviews
I'm writing this because the last few days of playing this game can only be described as when you fighting in a dream and your punches are in slow motion and have no momentum, whatever they changed in the last patch has made poleaxes for the player feel like your swinging through a pool of molasses(even with making a smaller and lighter poleaxe), and yet the ai seem unaffected in fact, sometimes the ai just lay their weapon on you all of a sudden its a lightsabre and you take damage through layers of armour, furthermore even with bone fragility turned down my character still has arthritis he just broke what i believe to be his hip from striding a little far to forward during the lords tourney which i went from being able to complete to basically being impossible even with scaling down my weapons to adjust for overweight weapon, you just seem to do no damage while taking damage to easily, and weapons now feel unresponsive .
I'll fix my review when they fix Abyss battles. I'm tired of losing everything to a coffin.
Game is really fun but after the most recent patch, it is currently unplayable due to constant crashing. Please, if youre a game dev, refrain from making your game in Unreal Engine
Демка была топовая, но вылетала на последнем боссе. Полная игра вышла отвратительной, так долго ждал и так быстро скипнул.
♥♥♥♥ this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game it sucks its borderline unplayable with how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weak your dumbass mongoloid of a character is (and somehow a weak starving peasants punch knocks you the ♥♥♥♥ out like what??) balance your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game instead of adding 60 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ new armor sets nobody has asked for you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idiots, play the free demo its much better
怎么又变肌无力了,傻逼制作组
I loved this game so much, even the demo, but these new updates made it unplayable. The most recent one made it so i can barely fistfight, which is the only thing i do. The previous ones made my bones break over nothing, soundtracks were messed up, people grab too much, and choking was too powerful. Also made the blood dynamics worse and dying immediately from an extremity wound. Ive lost the character i had for months due to a zombie biting through plate armor. The game was fine in its earlier versions, but the developers minds are all over the place. This game had so much potential.
This game feels different than the demo. I feel like I've been handicapped while all the jank B.S. is still in play. 0/10 will not recommend the game. Don't waste your money.
This game is gr-Fatal Error!
It has the bones of a great game
