About the Game

Half Sword is an immersive, physically simulated medieval combat game that offers players a unique experience of becoming a commoner-turned-knight, fighting brutal tournaments in 15th-century Europe. With its innovative gameplay mechanic, players can use their mouse to control their swords, allowing them to feel the intensity of each battle as they rise through the ranks and face off against formidable opponents.

Historical Arms and Armor: 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.

Physically Based Combat: 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.

Arena Game Mode: Engage in the brutal and visceral setting of the period with our captivating arena game mode. This mode provides an extensive range of content, introducing players to the game mechanics and immersive universe while keeping them enthralled in the blood-soaked spectacle.

Armor Layer System: Our emphasis on armor and weaponry extends to how players dress and equip their heroic characters. Progression unlocks an extensive array of helmets, shields, pauldrons, and period-appropriate armors, allowing players to tailor their appearance to fit their playstyle.

Customization: Unleash your imagination and dive into the realm of medieval warfare fashion. Our game grants you to indulge your fantasies, envisioning your knight or man-at-arms as they would appear on the battlefield. With an array of clothing and armor options, the ability to upgrade armor with tabards, headbands, fathers, belts, scabbards, and an assortment of armor and padded armor, you can create an authentic and personalized look that seamlessly fits the period.

Gore System: Prepare for a visceral and gruesome combat experience. Our game boasts a robust gore and blood system that leaves a messy and chilling trail in its wake. 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.

Adventures: The arena is merely the tip of the iceberg, as our game offers a variety of game modes and quests that beckon skilled swordsmen. Engage with NPCs to discover lucrative opportunities, but exercise caution when selecting your assignments, for you never know where your path may ultimately lead.

First-Person and Third-Person Modes: Embrace different perspectives to suit your preferred playstyle. Whether you choose to experience the entire game in first-person or third-person view, the choice is yours. Each mode offers distinct advantages, and it's up to the player to explore and determine which perspective provides the most immersive and rewarding experience.
