Half Sword Playtest – Tutorial – Parrying Guide offers some tips and tricks as well as my opinion on some game mechanics in Half Sword.

These are just my interpretations of some of the game mechanics. Mostly from the perspective of a serial longsword user. I could be wrong on some points.

These tips may be completely irrelevant in the future, but that's okay.

It really comes down to your attitude and understanding Willie's drive for life.

Bl00d and g0re are temporarily disabled due to an event in Tokyo. The developers will be demoing the game there. It also had to be reworked due to physics changes from previous builds (as far as I know).

The Half Sword playtest is available on the Steam store page. To play the playtest you will need to request access in the demo section. Access is usually granted pretty quickly, but be patient, it's coming! The link is below and be sure to add the game to your wishlist!

If you want to support the game, give feedback, or join the community, you can find the Discord link below.
