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.

so tuff
It's a very fun combat sim, I have 150 hours on the demo at the time of this comment, and I do think that the current edition is better than the demo. The game gets better with each update, but there are still some issues with crashing (most happen when cutting someone in half for me). Additionally, though, "story" mode is super confusing, and there is no explanation offered by the game on how to play it, which makes me pretty pissed because it has a lot of potential, but the devs gaslight you into being a beggar class for all of time.
Vannak buggok leginkább texturák miatt , de akinek tetszik ez a stilus egyértelmüen adni fogja neki.
The sins of my senseless killing come to haunt me as I have countless enemies' souls to reclaim upon my judgement day. The playwrights of old could not write of a tragedy as egregious as what I have caused to my fellow man. A proportion of which would make the feuds of Chinese history look like a mild dispute. There is no humanity left in me as I write this. I merely swing my sword, and a nation falls. My affronts to god may be forgiven by slaying those I have murdered in the afterlife, or even perhaps more scandalously, payed some form of tithe which reportedly absolves me, however, I cannot forgive myself.
peak game but i would love if they add castle defense in free mode or sum
