its peak cant wait for the new updates
i have a consistent love hate relationship with this game, for example, i love the weapon and armour customisation stuff recently, and i love the physics, and i love to just see how legendary my weapon can possibly get every time i make a new one when the old one has gotten its use to that point :3 BUT, i hate the constant random deaths i get even when im fully armoured, as if im that meme where the arrow goes just through the visor flawlessly against every odd ever to exist. and i HATE the manifest souls demanding vengeance with their stupid biting mouths and their stupid mysterious power of deleting your leg 2 to 5 enemies in, rendering you fubbernucked by the rest as most of the time you can just easily get into the slaughter, and suddenly you e1m1 things so hard that the next time you kick the bucket youre knee deep in the dead and you have a LOT of combat crimes to answer for with the spirits... tl;dr, the game is kind of an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sometimes, but its incredibly well put together, and the growth and curiosity is more than enough to keep you roped in like a scholar finding eldritch knowledge or something. nifty game! <3
sucky game, nerf zombies NOW.
godo
i like the game its good but after the update there is a bug in you are in the rank turnament you game crush
Great Game! For short Action with unbelievable physics engine. Realistic middle age fighting game :)
I really love the gameplay loop for this game, the only thing I would like to see is facing the lord champion in the abyss. Once you get to the late game and are grinding for the baron set you just have a crazy amount of money. Even if I somehow die and have to face the 25+ zombies its so easy, I would really like to see a challenge when it comes to the abyss. Maybe extra rewards for conquering the abyss? Also no baron shoes??? Anyway beautiful damn game, I always come back to it even having done everything.
terrible physics please improve. Every aspect of the game is glitchy. When you die have a counter of how many you need to kill to come back. verryyyyy annoying game rn. I have 25 hours on the game.
the game is overall fun but definetly needs some work with the damage caused by hits and other combat glitches
Half sword was a GREAT game for me and I love it because it taught me how to gut and skin alive people for my practices I will now go to a children's park to test out my new found skills thank you half sword ilysm!!!
