Half Sword is a physics-based medieval combat simulator featuring historically accurate XV-century arms and armor.

Half Sword is a fully physically simulated medieval fencing simulator that aims to give players a visceral experience of knightly combat while staying true to historical accuracy.

What started as a small school project quickly attracted talented individuals, and now Half Sword is being developed by a team of six history enthusiasts with a passion for unique games.

We began sharing a free playable demo of Half Sword around November 2022, and since then, many people have joined our community, testing and enjoying every update we release.

Today, we have over 45,000 members on Discord, and the number is constantly growing after we launched our demo and now the play test.

The game is currently in the production stage, and we are now working on the full game.

We have finished our prototype stage and working on building the IP and the game it self to become a full release sometime in the future.

This will give us an indication of what our community would like to see and allow us to gather feedback as we further optimize the game and prepare our free demo.

We intend to attract various content creators to our game to further spread the word and knowledge about it. Some YouTubers are already covering our game:

The game has been in development for two years so far, and we've managed to attract a community of dedicated players and content creators who are very excited about our game, even before our marketing campaign has begun.

Once we're ready with our prototype phase, we'll start bringing on a couple more disciplines needed to continue the production of the full game. So far we have grown our team to 14 people, exited to work on the game and uncover more what the period and setting has to offer if tge late 15th century Europe.

This is our team's first game, and if it proves successful, we plan to expand on our current ideas for the Half Sword IP, developing bigger and more complex games in the future, while also leveraging more of Unreal Engine's innovative tools.
