Half Sword is a physics-based medieval combat simulator, developed by Georgian studio Half Sword Games and published by Game Seer. A demo version of the game is available on Steam and Epic Games Store on Microsoft Windows. The game released into early access on January 30, 2026.
In the game, the player controls a human through freeform "ragdoll" controls. The goal of the player is to eliminate other fighters, using late medieval weapons and armor. The game can be played in several game modes, such as the Progression mode, where the player unlocks more and more advanced challenges and items over time, starting with fists; Abyss mode, where the enemies are the vengeful spirits of the players dead opponents, ghouls; and Free Mode, where the player is free to choose their armory, weapons and opponents; the latter mode also contains a split-screen multiplayer mode.
The game was widely described as "utterly silly", but "very realistic" and brutal. About 10,000 videos featuring Half Sword were uploaded across various platforms, along with the game collecting over 400,000 wishlists on Steam after the first 6 months of available demo.
