About

Half Sword is an immersive, physics-based medieval combat simulator that offers players a unique experience of becoming a commoner-turned-knight, fighting brutal tournaments in 15th-century Europe.

Become the champion of the Arena by besting your opponents in various brawls and tournaments. Prepare for an unparalleled combat experience where your every move matters. All animations and maneuvers are meticulously designed with a strong foundation in realism.
Your control over weapons is genuine, as we have crafted a combat system based on the expertise and feedback of Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) practitioners and sword fencers. Through this dynamic system, players can immerse themselves in the intricacies of swordplay and learn the art of the game's combat mechanics.
Survive bloody battles to gain renown and claim wealth to buy new equipment or forge your own armor and weapons tailored to your combat style. Feeling confident? Bet on your success to potentially boost your earnings and further your progress.

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.

unplayable right now, everytime i close my game im fully reset. lost my lord ranked character for seemingly no reason and now every attempt is just bugged
Игра не запускается, выдаёт ошибку постоянно. Если всё таки удалось зайти в игру, то каждые 5-10 минут появляется ошибка и меня выкидывает из игры. Разработчики никак проблему не решают.
They should call this Half Crash, but instead of it crashing half the time, it crashes all the time
Недавно добавили поддержку fsr, и конкретно улучшили оптимизацию. Так что теперь смело всем советую! на средних 100-60 фпс. Осталось дождаться поддержку амдшного фреймгена и вообще будет имбулечка
its for kuns
玩了15个小时demo,果断原价购入了。 如果你是一名热衷于在游戏里看见物理效果的玩家,那么这款游戏你一定不能错过,游戏不使用传统的按键攻击,而是要求你用鼠标来操控手的运动规矩【就好像人类一败涂地一样,不过这款游戏更适合战斗】,这使得游戏中的战斗更贴合现实逻辑【也很逗逼】,即你对敌人造成的伤害取决于你手中武器的类型,速度和角度。 同时游戏中的护甲也可圈可点,许多游戏中的护甲因为平衡而被削弱了,而在这款游戏中护甲能给你真正的安全感,全副武装时你的护甲可抵御几乎全部的挥砍和戳刺,只有钝击才能有效率的杀伤全甲士兵,你可以叠加武装衣,链甲和板甲来达到最佳防御效果。 我非常喜欢这款游戏且会把这款游戏推荐给其他的人,最后我想给亲爱的制作组提几点意见 1.优化问题,目前游戏优化在我的配置下显得一般,2k中高画质下大部分地图能保持在90左右,有时能到120,而在大量出血时游戏会卡顿,我希望能得到更好的优化 2.更多的地图和模式,目前的地图数量还是太少了,我希望将来能在half sword里体验攻城战和水战【哈哈,会不会有点太远了】 3.pvp,pvp,我们需要pvp,我知道在这种需要大量物理计算的游戏不好做pvp,但如果做出来了这款游戏很有爆款的潜力,至少做个局域网吧 Spent 15 hours on the demo and decided to buy it at full price without hesitation. If you are a player who loves seeing physics‑driven gameplay, you should not miss this title. Instead of conventional button‑based attacks, you control your hand’s movement with your mouse — similar to Human: Fall Flat, yet built for combat. This makes fights feel physically realistic (and hilariously goofy). Damage dealt to enemies depends entirely on your weapon type, swing speed, and strike angle. The armour system is also excellent. Many games nerf armour for balance purposes, but here armour offers genuine protection. In full kit, you are nearly immune to most slashing and stabbing attacks; only blunt strikes can efficiently take down fully armoured soldiers. You can layer gambeson, chainmail and plate armour for maximum defence. I really enjoy this game and would recommend it to others. I also have a few suggestions for the dev team: 1. **Optimisation**: Performance is mediocre on my setup. At 2K medium‑high settings, most maps hover around 90 FPS and can hit 120 at times. However, heavy blood‑splatter effects cause stuttering. I hope for further performance improvements. 2. **More maps and modes**: The current map pool is rather small. I would love to see siege battles and naval combat in Half‑Sword someday (haha, maybe that is asking for too much). 3. **PvP, PvP, we want PvP!** I understand PvP is tough for a game with heavy physics calculations, but it could turn this into a breakout hit if implemented. At the very least, please add LAN support.
It's one of the best games ever, imo. There isn't a great deal of content, in all honesty. If it was another game, I doubt I would have played more than 10-15 hours of it, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ addictive. I played the original demo, the playtest, and now EA. I probably have around 200+ hours on the game in total, and istg most of it is just me doing the same thing over and over again, and for one simple reason: fighting is so much [u] fun. [/u] The game is completely physics-based, and you control the character's weapon by holding LMB and moving your mouse. It is not an easy game to get the hang-of by any measure, but it's also not really that hard [i] once [/i] you get used to it. When you understand the foundations of the combat system, and you get some familiarity with the additional mechanics, weapons, etc., the game is more just about practice, and even then, usually a great deal of luck lmao. Half-Sword is completely unhinged, tbh. It allows you to be an honourable knight, showing mercy, and sparing death, to those you defeat in battle, but on the other hand, it also allows you to unleash the most sadistic parts of yourself. You [u] will [/u] feel shame when you look in the mirror, but that's probably a good sign for you as a person, on the whole. The game features anatomically correct bodies (mostly - no peens to slice ;-; ), including organs, muscles, and skeleton. Not only that, but Half-Sword is so dedicated to creating their ultra-realistic HEMA-based fighting game that they made sure to code anatomically correct cutting, bruising, snapping, and breaking. Wherever you cut with a sword will be wherever you draw blood, or sever parts, from. If you hit an artery, blood literally spurts everywhere, coating you, your victim, and the floor. Wherever you hit with a mace will bruise and fracture. Enough damage can cause joints to snap, and even bones to break. On top of these real-life components, there is screaming, and lots of it. Screaming, begging, death gurgling... it's all part of the hand-crafted experience. You can even choke someone to death with your bare hands whilst they attempt to kick and punch you in your grip, trying, with their dying breath, to stop you before their muscles tire, and their bodies' weaken. You can watch the life seep from their eyes as you tighten your grip. The point is, this game makes you realise that swords are fun. Everyone should buy a sword and start playing IRL Half-Sword. (in all seriousness, this game is stupid, fun, very replayable, and, yes, buggy, but - often - in a fun way.) Big-time buy!
I love playing with my Willy
