SWORDY

This waas a great game, with lots of promise, but there have been no updates since 2017. I hope work starts again, as it looks like it has been abandoned by the devs

Pretty goofy and funny, but really boring after literally half an hour. It ends up just being "walk into people and jab them and hope to get lucky." And I generally love stupid party games like this. This one is just so bland and pointless.

(DISCLAIMER: I played this offline on my living room PC, so I probably have about 2 hours in this game.) SWORDY just has nothing to offer you after the inital goofy-ness of the combat wears off. It is fun to try everything out, but that will maybe take you a half hour. I get its early access, but there just really isn't any content right now to warrant a purchase. I do hope that this game gets more fledged out and has more things to keep you playing. If that happens, I would gladly re-purchase this game. However, I will have to refund it for now since I know it will not make it into my couch party line-up. It really is a shame, because I have nearly 100 couch-multiplayer games in my steam library. This game is a fun idea, and I really want to support couch-multiplayer games that are not just 2D Smash-esque fighters. I'm hoping the best for the devs of this game, but to the consumer: Hold off on your purchase for now. Maybe later.

I remember seeing this game a couple years back and being absolutely entranced. Happy to report that playing it delivers on that. Right now the emphasis is definitely on sharing a couch and bashing eachother with a variety of weapons (which is fantastic) I know the devs have spoken about having some sort of a campaign mode, which I'm super pumped for :) super thrilled to be part of early access! :D -REALLY unique combat -wildy entertaining physics kills -beautiful, consistent graphics 10/10 would recommend, to be wildy entertained AND support the awesome devs :D

I bought this game specifically to play with a few friends on the couch. It is a lot of fun with a few controllers and a few friends. I get that it is early access and not all the content is there but my friends and I would play this game for a bit, play something else, and eventually end up coming back to this one because it was just too much fun. It's great to practice all the different weapons ranging from hammers, axes, swords, daggers, spears, and flails. Each one plays differently and requires a unique tactic. We got fairly bored of the "kill everyone" game so we came up with our own ideas for keeping the game interesting. - Give one player armor and two weapons. The other players do not have armor and only weapon. Juggernaut versus everyone else! - Nothing but hammers. Everyone brings two hammers into the arena. The catch is you can only use them by throwing. No meleeing allowed. This was by far my favourite game mode. Fun little made up game modes like this kept things interesting and we kept coming back. The physics works fantastically, the graphics worked well for what it is, and I never had any problems with the game crashing. Even though it is early access I would recommend this game if you are looking for a fun little brawler to play with friends on the couch.

Edit: Game is dead. Has been since 2018. Steamcharts says 0 players, and dev hasn't posted on twitter any updates, their site doesn't even work anymore. This was a low effort cash grab. Don't buy this YET. Wait. I wanted to like it, I truly did. There's not enough content to justify a $10 price tag, let alone $15. Yes, I bought this when I was drunk thinking it would be amazing, but there aren't any ranged weapons, online players, new maps, keyboard interface, and it feels like the dev(s) abandoned it. The combat seems clunky at first, but once you get used to fighting, it's pretty easy to ruin the bots. It needs content and TLC, or it will be dead and I will have wasted my money.

The game is dead. Don't waste your money. The current state is only worth a couple of hours of playing. Also, you'll find many of your friends dont want to bother to learn the mechanics. (i did)
