Half Sword is a physics-based melee combat simulation set in 15th-century Europe and currently available in Steam Early Access. Players begin as commoners and enter arena contests and chaotic group fights on a path toward becoming feared warriors. Mouse and controller input drive a dynamic system intended to reproduce the weight of individual swings and impacts. Physics-based ragdolls support extreme gore including dismemberment, decapitation, and exposed organs. The developers worked with historical European martial arts practitioners to improve the historical accuracy of weapons and movement. A range of weapons and armor can be customized. Heavy armor increases protection but reduces mobility. Reputation and prize money from combat buy or forge stronger equipment, and players can wager on themselves for greater returns. The tavern acts as a central hub for rest, treatment, trade, and interaction. Fighting style and reputation affect NPC reactions: a ruthless killer loses standing, while an honorable warrior earns favor. The Early Access version is fully playable, with new maps, smithing, and heraldry customization planned. English is the only supported language.
