Really great game, it's extremely fun to try out the different combinations of upgrades, but you still notice that you haven't even come close to mastering the game yet. With updates in the future it is definitely a purchase recommendation.
Sword vs Horde is a great and slightly addictive game. Fun to play, with a detailed yet cute character-design. My favourites are those round slimes, which squeeze when they blink. The choice of swords variates, which is fun. The game experience differs depending on what sword and what armor is used. I am looking forward to more choices, if they come. For people with motion sickness, I do recommend minimizing the screen shake function in the game options. Overall, a nice game with potential for further updates with more bosses and sword-/armor-options, which I am looking forward to.
What a great pixel art game! When I tried it, I feel that this is great fun and trained my reaction time the more I played it! The faster you spin your sword, the more damage you deal. You can use the boost (space key) to really hit hard or to quickly change the direction. The challenge gets harder the longer you survive. With every new wave you reach, new and more additional enemies appear, like armored skeletons, archers, wizzards and so on... My favorites are, last but not least, the funny wolves! It's really fun once you get the hang of it! My best results I get with my favorite weapon: the Dane Axe. And the music is awesome! The best part is when the bells set in :-) All thumbs up! Great fun and great game!!!
Interesting mechanic, but the current content is good enough for only a few runs. The distinctive feature is that you only have one weapon that may be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise. The best method is to alternate between the two, as moving in one direction for too long leads to dizziness. You will be unable to move or attack for several seconds. The sword will pass through or bounce off foes. This indicates they have a shield, but each attack removes one piece from it. Some also die quickly, while others require a few additional hits. Rocks will also stop your sword. Money is earned after each run. It's quite generous because you can afford to purchase the best things after a few runs. Gear is separated into swords and armor, each with its unique set of stats. However, you will have to make compromises: if you choose greater damage, you will become dizzy faster. The game is in early access so it doesn’t have a lot to offer. Each run is the same without any surprises, and there are no extra features to pull you in.

It’s intuitive yet challenging, making it addictively fun to master. The pixel art is visually appealing, giving the game a classic yet fresh look.

Plus, the game features a variety of weapons and armor that change how you approach the hordes, adding layers of strategy to your play. It might start off simple, but it quickly ramps up in difficulty, pushing you to improve with each round. It’s enjoyable, challenging, and keeps you coming back for more. Overall, this game is well worth checking out for its fun mechanics, stylish graphics, and compelling gameplay.

seeehr cooles Spiel, tolles gameplay und interessante Spielmechanik. Macht richtig fun. Der Pixel-Art-Look und das Design sind super. Macht Laune, die verschiedenen Waffen durchzuprobieren und gegen die unterschiedlichen Horden anzutreten. Meine favourites sind die slimeblobs ;) Weiteres plus: die sounds sind echt toll! Macht Spaß, ich spiele es gern immer wieder und kann es absolut empfehlen.
[h2]別ゲーすぎて ヴァンサバの跡形もない ヴァンサバ[/h2] ・遊び方 まず剣を回転させます スタミナが減って気絶してしまった・・・失敗 今度は、剣を逆回転させてみましょう なんと逆回転させるとスタミナが回復しました つまり回転と逆回転の両方をバランス良く行う必要がある ・言うは易く行うは難し たったこれだけを繰り返すだけの簡単なお仕事です しかし習得するのは簡単ですが、マスターするのは難しい やることはシンプルだけど、とても難しいゲームです とはいってもハッキリ言ってクセ強すぎでしょう これは「意図的に操作を複雑にした系のゲーム」です とりあえずヴァンサバを鬼畜ゲーにしてみましたみたいな そういう悪ノリのマゾなゲームが好きな人にはオススメ ただ難易度がイージーなチルモードもあります ちゃんと初心者救済措置もついてるので、ご安心ください ・感想 ここまで変なヴァンサバライクは今までありませんでした 自分はとっくにヴァンサバにも飽きてたので楽しめましたが とはいいつつ普通のヴァンサバなら他にいくらでもあります ここまで普通じゃないヴァンサバはこのゲームだけでは? スタミナ管理が難しく、挑戦的な難しさとなっています ・お試しあれ とりあえず DEMO があるので試してどうぞ なんともとてもおかしなゲームですね、ハハハ ・補足 オプションで「シールドの赤色表示」をオンにしときます そうしないとやりづらいです ハンマーは足の速いキャラじゃないと無理です 武器とキャラの相性を考えましょう 慣性バージョンですが、コンテンツは最低限の状態です アップデートで増えて豊富になるといいですね 現状は3面あるので少なくとも値段相応だと思います ワンコインならこんなもので十分じゃないでしょうか
I find the sword swinging mechanic to be quite fun, there's definitely a bigger learning curve to this than vampire survivors and theres some improvements that could be made to the early access but it seems that the dev is already responding to said issues I have so far. Game doesn't start off on the best foot but it definitely gets significantly better after the first few runs of understanding the controls and when you understand the sword-swinging system. It's also much better on controller as the swinging buttons feel very intuitive when using allocated shoulder buttons to a direction. Overall I give it a thumbs up and I think its worth checking this game out and I find it impressive that this is a one-man game!
This is such an amazing game! The core mechanic of swinging your sword left or right might seem simple at first, but is insanely challenging and fun to perfect and beat. If you’re good enough, you can even unlock cool new swords and armour-sets with extra trivia and different handlings. I also really love the art style! Especially the wolves, which are extremely derpy and (in my opinion) cute, but are also the hardest enemies. The extremely fitting and epic music is just the cherry on top. If you are looking for a fun game with an interesting and unique mechanic, you are looking at the right game!
