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.

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.

The game is good, but has some bugs. When you start a battle and have a big shield equipped on your left or right hand, the shield can appear inside your leg and break it. In the section where you equip itens, if you have a shield in your shoulder and click to equip another shield, the shield that was equipped before desappear. When you go to abyss, you can spawn inside of a coffin, making difficult to stand up. However, i think this version of the game is much better than the demo. Congratulations to the development team, you are doing a good work!
game is very good, very buggy but very good, it has amazing physics and combat and i just love the progression.

Mauvais jeu il ce dit réaliste mais y'a aucun réaliste le jeu bug a font Des fois les épées traverse ton armure sans raison Des fois l'énemis te vole ton arme Des fois le jeu décide que tu vas mourir face a un boss en te privant de t'es commandes Des fois ton personnage après deux trois petites coupures décide de ce mettre en boule au sol Des fois les ennemis ont un boost de speed sans aucune raison juste pour te frapper plus fort Des fois t'es membres ce brise sans aucune putin de raison juste a cause d'un bug Le jeu a sa propre logique non réaliste C'est plus un bac a sable Je ne recommande pas dans cette état
Bro este juego es buenisimo pero el problema es que tiene pocos bugs pero si ignoramos eso el juego esta BUENISIMO ;)
the full realse was buggy and went without updates for months leaving only limited enjoyment but once they came back out the blue and started to update the game it became very enjoyable again. The fights are more intense. The physics are better and overall i can really put buku more time into the game
