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.

Игра отвратительно работает , разработчик ебанутый бездарь , и с каждым новым патчем , или обновкой , отваливается все к хуяем собачьим. Демо версия и то лучше работает. В этой же версии месяцами настраивали чтобы у тебя меч более менее поднялся уебать . Я не понимаю , как имея нормальное демо , релиз выходит такое дерьмо. С последним патчем добавили какой то ползунок на урон конечностям , при замахе ♥♥♥♥♥ ломаются свои же руки.
Imagine making a downgrade of the play test lmao. 20 minutes and it feels worse, crashed, and soft locked already. Runs great tho. :)
it good
Game is fun and definetly has potential. To handed weapons sometimes feel a bit janky and the Progression mode need a bit of tweaking because Gold Becomes bit useless in the latertiers and the Weapon/Armor crafting system is a bit unintuitive but aside from that the game is great. I personally love the a bit more realistic bepiction of medival combat
rlly fun
games not even close to done, take progress and armour/weapons away from you whenever it DECIDES to reset.
Amazing how the devs turned such fun game into an absolute trashheap. Brawl? Enjoy everyone arbitrarily targeting you cuz the AI said so. Oh ♥♥♥♥, now you get to spawn without weapons for some reasons, what a fun time. I hope someone does 9/11 on the devs of this trash.
10/10 peakest game ever
Game crashed twice in one level because these terrible devs cant program to save their damn lives, and also I lost that level. I should not be losing because these stupid people, who by all means, should not be making games, made a game.
W game fr it's cool
