About Half Sword

Half Sword is an immersive, physics-based medieval combat simulator that lets you play a commoner-turned-knight fighting brutal tournaments in 15th-century Europe. Its innovative mechanics put weapon control directly in your hands, wielded with precision through the mouse, so you feel the intensity of every clash as you climb the ranks toward increasingly formidable opponents.

The game grounds itself in history with a meticulously crafted collection of historically accurate arms and armor, offering an authentic glimpse into the past through a diverse and vibrant array of period equipment. Becoming the champion of the Arena means besting rivals across various brawls and tournaments, and the combat itself is built for realism, with animations and maneuvers designed around a strong foundation in authenticity. That system draws directly on the expertise and feedback of Historical European Martial Arts practitioners and sword fencers, letting you immerse yourself in the intricacies of genuine swordplay.

Surviving bloody battles earns renown and wealth, which you can spend on new equipment or use to forge your own armor and weapons tailored to your fighting style, and you can even bet on your own performance if you feel confident. Blending action, adventure, indie, and simulation sensibilities, Half Sword delivers a demanding, physics-driven combat experience on PC.
