Needs some small optimisation here and there, but i really enjoy releasing all my old pain and suffering upon these bots. I like to take their heads. Progression mode is really fun. Becoming more powerful whilst trying new weapons i like. Acquiring new armor is addictive.

Awesome game with good devs who seem to really seem to have a dream. Often times physics-based combat games will give up and try to lean into their poorly made systems by pretending it's a joke game, but not Half Sword. They polished it and refined it until it's where it is now, and it's really fun with hopefully only more fun to be had. I also really appreciate the historical accuracy, and not shoving things like random non-European people and things into the game, like so many other "medieval" games do.

I recommend this game for the most part. It feels unique and has a desire to be realistic. It's also pretty historically accurate for medieval era as far as what weapons are available, duels, armor, etc. The addition of the progression mode has been super fun and gives a sense of purpose to the game. However, I feel that as you rank up, it becomes more and more frustrating. Not so much just the difficulty, but the amount of armor that acts strange when in combat. I consistently get tangled up in a piece of an opponents armor, or one of the weapons does, which will result in you getting stuck, extremely fatigued, or randomly the tension builds and your arm or leg or even half of your body just decides to snap. It's also very frustrating fighting multiple armed enemies at once in order to progress. Even as much as 3 or 4 fully armored opponents whose strength, size, and precision can be higher than yours. I will use a polearm for instance to whack an armored opponent on the head... does nothing. if that happens to me? I'm on the floor. The late game is very annoying imo and has me in a fight for 10 minutes just to lose to a bind up of glitchy armor or weapons. Other than that, the game is really fun if you're into medieval fighting and swords and whatnot, I know they're working on the game still so gotta give it some slack.

relly fun game but also quite hard in the later tiers becose they have so mutch armor i prefer the rank of veteran or the one under becose there is still armor but there are useuely plenty of weak spots to hit altho fair warning the game will just sometimes crash
