Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access is a way for us to completely integrate the community into the development process. Your feedback during Playtests and Demo rounds were already extremely valuable, and we want to keep this dynamic rolling.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to remain in Early Access for 6 to 12 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version already includes all the core mechanics that make Half Sword fun and engaging. Throughout Early Access, we plan to expand and refine these mechanics. If everything goes well, we would love to introduce the following features:
- New maps
- Improved gore (v3.0)
- Forge mechanics
- Heraldry customization
- Improved Abyss”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable, stable, and already highly enjoyable. While you may encounter occasional minor bugs, there shouldn’t be any major issues.
As for features already in game, please refer to the "About This" section.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, the price may increase once Early Access ends. This way, we can thank our earliest supporters with a lower entry price for joining us from the very beginning.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Our community is already very active on Discord and the Steam forums, where players help shape new features and improvements. We’re committed to keeping this close collaboration going all throughout Early Access and beyond.”

About This Game

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. With innovative gameplay mechanics, you can wield your weapon with precision using your mouse, feeling the intensity of each clash as you ascend the ranks to face formidable opponents.

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.
