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. With innovative gameplay mechanics, you can wield your weapon with precision using your mouse, feeling the intensity of each clash as you ascend the ranks to face formidable opponents.

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.

good
I love this game, but after the last patch the damage to the player became unimmaginable high. even on the lowest settings, it's still incredibly high. please try and fix this as soon as possible, cause it's really a good game
quarter hammer
try to work more than hour per week and add amd features. its been 6 months
Not a whole lot to the game, But also doesn't need much and there's not many other games like this. Super easy to dump a couple hours into from time to time. sadly the game does seem to be poorly optimized. i play at 1440p on low and get 45 to maybe 60 regularly but when i'm fighting more than 7 enemies it drops a lot.
I sawed a man in half with his own ax. Perhaps his family will keep it on their wall.
Yes I would recommend
abyass is so hard zombie is bite me it so annoying and one likey sneaky me behind it bad future to this game balance it
