Half Sword

Half Sword is a medieval combat simulator that emphasizes realistic physics and historical accuracy. Players take control of a fighter and engage in one-on-one duels or large-scale tournaments, where every movement and strike must be carefully executed. The game’s control system allows for precise handling of weapons, with attacks being influenced by mouse movements and momentum. Each battle requires strategic positioning, timing, and an understanding of medieval fighting techniques to defeat increasingly skilled opponents.

Equipment and Character Progression

Players can acquire historically accurate armor and weapons, each affecting movement speed, defense, and attack effectiveness. As they progress, they can customize their loadout to match their preferred combat style, balancing agility and protection. The game features a betting system where players can wager on their own fights, risking their earnings for greater rewards. Victories earn money that can be used to upgrade gear, while defeats can mean severe consequences, including permanent character loss.

Brutality and Consequences

Half Sword is designed with a high level of realism, including detailed depictions of injuries and fatalities. Battles can result in dismemberment, broken bones, and visible wounds, with damage depending on weapon choice and armor quality. The game does not allow for respawning, meaning that a single defeat can lead to a permanent end for the character. Every fight carries weight, requiring players to approach combat with caution and skill to survive and rise through the ranks.
