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.
Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of history with our meticulously crafted collection of historically accurate arms and armor. Experience the diverse and vibrant array of armor from history, offering players an authentic glimpse into the past.

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.

game so hard it made me hard
half sword is one of the most unique games ive played and also one of the most fun. although glitches can be a problem the bad glitches dont appear very often. that said please keep the super long pollaxes and other weapon making glitch its very funny and fun to play around with.
Still a bit rough on the edges, as of now. But the overall experience is very good.
FUNNNNN
两代demo我就玩了将近400小时,正式版内容多了不少 有自定义模式 深渊模式 战役模式 战役的游戏循环做可以 不是刻意刁难玩家 可以给装备上保险不掉落 战死了会进入深渊击杀亡魂还阳 在深渊彻底死亡也会保留人物体格,金钱,装备,战役的进度
The flesh-eating zombies in the abyss are a very annoying mechanic. I'd almost rather just give up than bother fighting them. I would have strongly preferred that you'd left abyss the way it was in the beta, or maybe made the player fight some of the guys he killed in life to add the feeling of consequences. I still love the game so I'm giving a positive review, but abyss is a low point right now unfortunately.
blood be spilt.
