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.

its like riding a uni-cycle wearing 250lbs of armor beautifully
I played a LOT of the demos. I loved this game a lot and the long string of silence kind of broke my heart- I was pretty convinced it was going to be dead on arrival. Paired with the partially update out of nowhere, I was certain it was going nowhere, though the developers have pushed a lot of "smaller" patches that fixed a LOT of my qualms. Overall, the main gameplay loop is very basic and after your first run of progression it's basically up to you to make fun where you can. That being said- the game has HUGE potential. It's essentially the HEMA/Swordfighting game of your very gory dreams. A lot of development time has been poured into the gore and blood- it may seem like a lot but it does end up adding a lot of feeling to slashes/smacks/stabs/etc. I really hope that modding support continues to improve because I could see this game lasting a long time if properly nurtured. For a while, I considered the released product to be a sort of "side-grade", where there were pros and cons, but I definitely consider it wayyyyy better than demo, now. Thank you, devs. Very cool game!

Its great but the mechanic to get up is so bad because it forces you to crawl and half of the time I end up dying.
Crash Sword.
Демка искренне лучше была Вместо оптимизации, новых интересных механик и более интересной системы прогрессии, оптимизация стала, каким-то хуем, хуже, механики были ухудшены или и вовсе убраны ♥♥♥♥♥, а про систему прогрессии даже говорить особо не хочется Туда же можно и бездну приписать, которая тупо неиграбельная. В демке там были обычные враги, сейчас же у нас ♥♥♥♥♥ зомби, которые по началу сильно не отличались, за исключением этого наитупейшего укуса, который бросает в стаггер почти гарантом, но теперь они вообще бессмертные, некоторые тупо неуязвимые, а сам укус теперь не просто в стаггер бросает, как раньше, а вообще убить может, из-за чего без полного набора брони, которую один ♥♥♥ пробьют, но мы не об этом, туда лезть смысла нет Хотел бы дополнить про постоянные вылеты, баги и отсутствующую оптимизацию, но, к сожалению, игра вылетает от фатал еррора раньше, чем я успеваю хоть что-то подметить
game makes me want to hang myself but very nice yes
its for kuns
