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.

really fun game!! one of very few truly physics based fighting games which is one of my absolute favorite genres! ...that said the physics really needs some tuning cause sometimes it can really mess you up. sometimes bones just.. spontaneously break which can be a real struggle. one time my guy's neck just snapped and boom it was over just like that. another thing is sometimes cuts can be really really shallow or go right through someone seemingly randomly even when coming at it from the exact same angle and force and allat. Its a good game but it still needs work and i wouldn't recommend it to someone who isnt willing to die in inexplicable ways.
This is my favorite game by far. Very fun!
Конечно рекомендую! Это просто шедевр. Лучше я не играл честно, особенно после того как добавили оптимизацию и главное - сплитскрин чтобы порубиться с друзьями это лучше некуда... 10/10 сломанных ног

Falli sanguinare.
After playing the demo for 24h, I finally gave in and bought this game. Do not follow my mistakes. This game is absolutely unplayable: the controls are wonky, I don't have any feeling of control over my actions, just like a drunk man stumbling around. Also the physics engine is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful. Like I died, because grabbing a barrel launched me across the room. It also heats my CPU up to 93 degrees (celcius) and stays there consistently, even when in the tavern. So please just stay on the demo, do not buy this. (The spec of the gpu is inaccurate, I use a nvidia 4060)
