Forkin PIK game forallem mit diese neue updates und maps und so manchmal bissl buggy aber ahhhhh peak
game still runs terribly cant recommend
I really love this game BUT it keeps on crashing, if not fixed soon ill leave a negative review EDIT: The game basically all of the time only crashes if you are a knight, take off your helmet and while holding it you beat another person with it like a weapon, literally when you do that it says the game crashed instantly.
I love this but game for the love of of all dont buy it till they fix it
Half sword is a really good game. I have a bunch of hours playing and never seem to get bored. as of lately this game causes me the most distress. I love playing the game but every time I play proggression, I progress then crash. I get to soldier rank, CRASH. One time I looked at an npc wrong and it crashed. This combined with the fact the progression mode never saves makes it borderline unplayable. PLEASE fix your game. I did not pay $30 just to feel defeated without even stepping foot in the ring.. because it'll probably crash.
At the current state of the game I cannot recommend this, especially the state of the abyss right now, where a 4hr run can be easily deleted by a zombie clipping through your armor and insta killing you.
Progression mode seems fun enough even though the balancing of grinding through the ranks seems off. Very fun slowly picking up new items and gear to wear and use. Killing people seems punishing due to the buggy nature of abyss mode and the zombies having a weird tracking lunge mech with their bites which leads to deaths that seem more akin to being cheesed than being punished for being trash at the game. Abyss mode seems like a waste due to this and would prob be better if the zombies didn't have the bite mech (or maybe nerf it). The fighting and gore is pretty fun and free play will always be the best part of this game since a bug/glitch wont set you back on a character death. Overall; would not recommended this over the demos/ other versions that had been release due to the balancing and everything outside of freeplay seeming unpolished.
Нет ничего лучше чем после тяжелого рабочего дня бить мужиков булавой по голове.
весело пиздиться но оптимизации нет
