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.

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.

Crashes al the time
Я являюсь человеком, который познакомился с этой игрой ещё на демо версии, когда был только режим бездны. С того момента игра сильно преобразилась. Добавили большое количество контента, сделали более длинную кампанию (по сравнению с плейтестом), переработали бездну, дали новое броню, оружие (даже арбалет добавили) и поменяли в лучшую сторону боёвку. Однако одним неизменным минусом остаётся интерес к игре. Кампания проходится за пару часов и после можно только немного побегать в бездне. И, к сожалению, это пока весь контент. Я с нетерпением жду новых обновлений и желаю разработчикам успехов в улучшении этой прекрасной игры
I really enjoy the game aside from the fact that every time my head even slightly touches something I'm out for the count even though I'm wearing armor and such. If it was just getting hit in the head with blunt weapons i would get it but if i even accidently graze a shield or object with my head I might as well do the deed myself. One other thing that bothers me is the save your soul feature. I get trying to change up the feature that was in the demo but it seems very excessive. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a feature where you save yourself but when I died just before making this post i had to fight 102 undead.....HOLY ♥♥♥♥!!!(my game crashed shortly after I started fighting undead so i lost either way) I know there is the lady you can talk to who can lower the number of souls you have to deal with but it doesn't work. You pay off the souls you need money. you get money by killing people. killing people creates more vengeful souls. then the money you just got is enough to pay off those souls you just created. But aside from the 2 things i complain about i absolutely love this game and i hope to see so much more in the future until then I'll continue to lose my mind playing this game and also loving at the same time.
the beggar tourney is suffering
if yo pc ♥♥♥♥ DO MOT play it, stick to the demo broke boy
