About

Half Sword is an immersive, physics-based medieval combat simulator that offers players a unique experience of becoming a commoner-turned-knight, fighting brutal tournaments in 15th-century Europe.

Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of history with our meticulously crafted collection of historically accurate arms and armor. Experience the diverse and vibrant array of armor from history, offering players an authentic glimpse into the past.

Become the champion of the Arena by besting your opponents in various brawls and tournaments. Prepare for an unparalleled combat experience where your every move matters. All animations and maneuvers are meticulously designed with a strong foundation in realism.
Your control over weapons is genuine, as we have crafted a combat system based on the expertise and feedback of Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) practitioners and sword fencers. Through this dynamic system, players can immerse themselves in the intricacies of swordplay and learn the art of the game's combat mechanics.
Survive bloody battles to gain renown and claim wealth to buy new equipment or forge your own armor and weapons tailored to your combat style. Feeling confident? Bet on your success to potentially boost your earnings and further your progress.

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.

Reviews
I'll have periods of time where I quit half sword for a good long while, but I always come back to it. Wanna know why? Because I got to try a full suit of armor on ONE TIME and became fully aware that I was born in the wrong era. I have the soul of knight, but I'm trapped in the body of an anxiety riddled college student. So... lacking the money to buy full suits of armor and swords, this game scratches that itch to be the feudal lord of a castle defending his land from invading knights and putting down noisy peasant revolutions quite nicely.

Combat feels like you actually need to concentrate, you have to focus on blocks and parrys, amazing game 10/10
this game in three words painful but fun
hack n slash
Like all melee sims it is incredibly fun and frustrating, but also very short content-wise. I hope they're able to save it, but so far the community feedback has been rough.
フル金装備までプレイ ゲーム自体は慣れたら面白いです(慣れるまでは苦行) 体験版をプレイすることをおすすめします しかし、最近のアプデが面白くない上にプレイフィールも悪化しているので、現時点では一旦様子見か体験版をプレイすることをおすすめします まず、直近のアプデで明らかに自機が弱体化しました 具体的には、 ・明らかな格下からの素手攻撃にもダメージ+怯むようになった ・怯みや転倒からの復帰が遅くなった ・四肢の損傷や致命傷を負いやすくなった ・体幹が不安定になった また、大穴のあるステージや軽装備での剣戟といったルールが追加されましたが、報酬が難易度の割に全くうまあじが無く、むしろ即死しやすいだけで何の意味もありません 金フル装備に到達時点で金稼ぎ以外やることがなくなってしまうので、更なるエンドコンテンツを追加してほしいです もう一度言いますが、ゲーム自体は慣れたら面白いです 特に大剣を背負ったフル装備の騎士となり、吾輩に歯向かう愚かな奴隷や農民どもを布を裂くように切り捨て、鮮血をその身に浴びる感覚はこのゲームでしか体験できないと思います
It has promise but I can't recommend it just yet. The combat mechanics are so deep that other melee games feel inherently cheaper and simpler because pressing one button to attack has nothing on controlling the specific angle of the swing. That said, the game crashes regularly mid-combat which is incredibly frustrating. A lot of battles end because the physics is still scuffed, and it can get hard to control and work out what's going on when they get stuck on each other.
lag :( ( I can't play )
if your looking for a realistic and super fun fighting experience from medivial times where you can use weapons like massive swords, axes, maces, and even crossbows but you don't want to go buy a vr headset and get a game like blades and sorcery then heres your game, realistic blood fun combat and actually hard enemy's which require actual skill to beat unless your just a natural, this game also takes a lot of time i spent maybe a whole year to beat the game from being a new player tho i was here since the demo was frst released and this game has changed a lot from that old demo, and I'm still playing up to today theres so much stuff to keep you entertained and some weapons you can only unlock by finding them
