Thy Sword

Thy Sword is a fun little retro style platformer. Things I like about the game: + The music and sound! I really like the retro music and the sound effects. Almost everything has some kind of sound effect. + The "Shop stage" where you get to get to buy new weapons, buy more ammo, gamble etc. + The art style, I like the simplicity of the characters and their design. The designs of the bigger bosses are great! Things I don't like about the game: - nothing special :D I haven't played too many retro games but I still like the simplicity of Thy Sword and if you like hack n' slash games this is definitely worth a buy!

Nice little game. Combat is old school but fun. The bosses are well designed. It is a bit short, but if you get it on sale, the price is right.

Fun game. Make sure to get as many kills with your special attack as possible so you have more money for gambling.

The game is just good. Deeper than it originally appears. Even at full price, its worth it.

I love this game! It's a nod to the 8 bit era with modern sensibilities. A little Bruce Lee C64 style sprites and Barbarian head chopping. I enjoyed my first hour with this game, was frustrated with hour 2 - 4, then once I got good, I loved it! The boss battles are tough but fair once you learn the patterns. I've only played it in 1 player mode but I think this would be awesome in 2 player mode.

Fun but tough action arcade game. I suggest playing through it on Easy once before tackling the tougher difficulties.

Under rated gem. barbarian's classic head chop animation with tidy single screen platform action for 2 players, good pixel art, feels like a proper arcade game

Played this so frickin much as a kid and to this day im still playing it with my closest friends. this game was it what brought me and my friends together. I love this game.

The game is charming, the bosses are fair, the combat is good but tight and hard, i have some problems with the stairs, the music is mediocre and i don't care for the sid chip. Overall, i recommend it.

Once I realized that you only play each area once and the gold you get is the gold you get, something clicked. It became better for some reason. There is no going back. The play through felt more permanent. Just finished the game as the barbarian and I want to try it as the paladin. I was not expecting to have the urge to go back and play the whole game again. A true GEM! Loved it! Highlights: Decapitating enemies gives more gold (makes you want to play a certain way). 2. Good variety of enemies with different ways to defeat the. The Zombie that you have to decapitate to kill permanently is genius:) 3. One play though, no take backs makes it feel old school in a good way, 4. Smooth and satisfying controls. 5. Best procedural y generated maps I've seen in a game like this. 6. Pixel art looks great and you can pick between 3 different styles of art - nice touch! Give this a try!
