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.

Massive improvement to the demo. Asked by my compatriot the tavern keep to take his drunk friend home. Knock down all the barrels in his way and make sure the street has no ruffians to quarrel with me and him over some coin. I return to the inebriated fellow to take him home. Discover he decides to brawl with me, a fully armed and armoured man. I choke him out on the spot, pick him up by his legs and drag him home. Along the way I broke his femur, to which he screamed like no other I had slain. I ferried him to his door, and was given my five pence as promised. 10/10
VERY FUN REAKISTIC GORE, LOVING HACKING THEM APART.
great I have only played sandbox but there is a way to customize a lot like hair, faces, skin, width, and height I played a bit of progression its great for the people who like those games i like them sometimes but I mainly just love the sandbox but anyway they have steady updates mostly and a great game still kinda buggy but great game overall.
The late game fights are so far from being enjoyable or fun that it made me uninstall. I tried so so hard to like the full release but it's just not any better than the FREE TECH DEMO. The TECH DEMO had less glitches, less lag, better optimization, fewer crashes, more enjoyable content, and an Abyss that doesn't suck. Really sad to be writing this tbh. Don't buy this game, just install the tech demo.
首发买的，但是优化太差了，现在不知道优化怎么样了，有机会买来看看
When PVP drops this game is all time top 3
this game crashed every 15minutes, it's not my pc- no other game does this, this is horrible, i crashed only a couple minutes ago and lost all my saved data, what a piece of ♥♥♥♥ this game is. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hot ass
It's awkward at first, and pretty hard. But once you get used to the controls and you start to git gud it's genuinely addicting as hell. The devs have been cooking with these recent patches and the game keeps getting better.
oyundan atıyor optimizasyon çok kötü
The most slaptastic and hysterical experience you will have in 2026!!!
