I still dont get why there isnt a playtest version with blood. Its still there. It's just transparent. You can see particles splash sometimes

Its a decal change away

[devout hinge]

Bait used to be believable

No use slashing weapons

You can see it

Ultimate Guide to Turning on Blood in Half Sword

Welcome, noble warrior! If you're ready to see your battles become truly epic, filled with gory splatters and crimson showers, then follow this "totally legitimate" guide on turning on blood in Half Sword.

Step 1: Access the Super Secret Settings Menu

1. Launch Half Sword and get to the main menu.
2. Hold down the following keys: Ctrl + Alt + Bloodlust.
3. A secret menu should pop up—if not, it means your bloodthirst isn't strong enough. Go fight a few more rounds, then try again.

Step 2: Enter the Forbidden Code

1. In the secret menu, there's a field labeled “Hidden Options.” Enter this code:

   BLOODIFY_ME_CAPTAIN
   

2. Press "Confirm" with a determined glare.

Step 3: Adjust the Blood Settings

1. A slider labeled “Gore Intensity” should appear. Crank it all the way to "Max Carnage" or “Spaghetti Explosion.”
2. You can also tweak these options:
   • Blood Color: Switch between classic red, neon green, or surprise mode.
   • Splatter Physics: Choose between "Realistic," "Anime Overkill," and "Shakespearean Tragedy."
   • Volume of Screams: Adjustable based on your tolerance for agony.

Step 4: Save and Engage in Battle

1. Hit "Save and Slay."
2. Enter combat, and behold the glorious mess you've unleashed! Every swing, parry, and half-swording maneuver should now result in a fountain of blood—just as the medieval gods intended.

Pro Tips:

• If the blood isn't flowing, chant “Blood for the Blood God” three times while spinning counterclockwise. The game responds to dedication.
• Too much blood? There's no such thing! But if your computer starts overheating, maybe consider dialing it back.

Enjoy your journey, warrior, and may your blade be ever stained with victory... and virtual hemoglobin!

(Disclaimer: This guide is purely satirical and based on a fictional feature. Please don’t spend too much time searching for these options in your game, as they don't actually exist.)

i suspect its the latter

[finite moon]

[chilly oracle]

I love seeing this image lol

[stoic sedge]

so whenever i move down im actually slicing to the bottom left

[agile lava]

Why that throw so clean lmao

[snow fulcrum]

[jolly gorge]

half sword multiplayer mytbe?

[covert quiver]

i think my character is sad

[sage bloom]

hope the two hand thrust glitch gets fixed next patch, super annoying to play with spears with it

[quaint mirage]

guys finally i won

1000+ aura

[stoic sedge]

100000+ aura

folks what does bone snapping in the options mean

[chilly moth]

I wish I could tell you

I know what body density means though

[stoic sedge]

what does that one do

[sage bloom]

i assume it increases chance that bones break

also its kinda weird that enemies dont give up after having legs broken

[red moth]

changes body density, duh

[chilly moth]

Harder to stick a weapon into someone. Affects certain weapons more.

For example, if you turn enemy damage all the way down and manage to impale them with a sword, they will still die fast. Same with the player.

Body density turned up will prevent that

So basically if you are turning damage to yourself all the way down for whatever reason, might as well turn up body density

[stoic sedge]

ohh i remember turning body density all the way up cause i thought it would make the body heavier, or just more sluggish..

now i know why i cant for the life of me stab someone lol

[chilly moth]

Stuff like axes and spears can still do a fuck ton of damage even with high body density

It mostly seems to affect swords

[stoic sedge]

i noticed that

[quaint mirage]

i turn down the body density all the way down

[stoic sedge]

i can cut a bot's throat by smashing the full weight of an axe on top of their skull...

[sage bloom]

swords are better for lightly armored since any part of it can slice. with axes u need to hit with the blade

[quaint mirage]

how to instal mod for demo?

[stoic sedge]

is there any mod??

[stoic sedge]

my brother is tasting the finest bread in the whole of christendom

[stone scroll]

so when do they wave or accept people into public test

[opal sundial]

It’s whenever Franky or the CM is online

[chilly moth]

https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/3

This is the easier way to do it

I don't have the energy to tell you about file paths so just read the description and use that

[final vortex]

I bashed one of them 48 times on both legs with a mace, and they didn't give up

Couldn't move either

[wind charm]

Pioneering Pole hammer tech.

[chilly oracle]

I just kill them and make sure they're not getting back up

[gray crag]

Please when you add gore, do not make loss of limbs and instant death. Or atleast make it a setting

I love zombies with no legs trying to beat my ass

[fleet stump]

I mean, if you lose a leg, you bleed out within 45 seconds

[old hound]

But Willie isn’t your average guy he’s better in every way

[gray crag]

What is going on

[gray crag]

Make it survivable if you put the damage slider all the way to the left like in the old demo

[red coral]

guys look at this bug

Out of Ring!!

[chilly oracle]

[rapid bronze]

i think kicking is gonna be added alongside blood too

[rapid bronze]

.

[amber whale]

ahh i see, thanks for showing when itll be

[rapid bronze]

oh yeah all good

[amber whale]

i kept wondering if it would be a few days after the gameshow or right after it ends

[devout hinge]

thats a lie lol

[rapid bronze]

[amber whale]

?

[devout hinge]

that guy isnt a mod

[devout hinge]

thats when the tokyo gameshow ends but not when we'll get blood and gore back but yeah it is true we'll get it AFTER the gameshow

[devout hinge]

meant to reply to this

[rapid bronze]

i feel like they could put the blood file in here so we can add it ourselves

[amber whale]

i wonder what else is being added alongside blood and kicking, i cant wait for the next update

[rapid bronze]

all good ik what u meant :)

[mortal lodge]

[barren mantle]

uhhhhhhhhh

[weak roost]

He’s high as fuck, duh.

[devout hinge]

i wish spear and polearm npcs would have a different AI

like one that tells them "dont let willie get close to you and dont you dare get close to him"

[unborn vigil]

Please, I need blood in the Playtest 😂
I love the game!!

[amber whale]

since kicking is getting added, will the AI be able to kick too?

[unborn vigil]

it would be great

[amber whale]

i agree, id like to catch kicks and get some cool single leg takedowns if the ai can kick too

[devout hinge]

Probably

[devout hinge]

Sometime after the Tokyo gameshow

[barren mantle]

lmao i found a clip of my first time playing the game

first session with a buddy of mine

[naive anchor]

hi guys

[forest nexus]

what is the minimum system requirements?

[forest nexus]

yeah i saw it

that says to be announced

[amber whale]

tackled him so hard his shirt started falling off

[lavish summit]

2080TI or 3070 is what I'd say for GPU given that its made with unreal and the game looks really nice.

Processor would be anything that matches that or even just preference.

[forest nexus]

ik i can play it im asking for my friend

he also wants to play but he got a bad pc

[lavish summit]

Ohhh alrighty. He could always just try and launch the demo to see how it goes.

[devout hinge]

The game is free lol

He shouldn't worry

Also devs said optimizations will be the last things they do

[forest nexus]

no way

[devout hinge]

Well the demo and playtest are free

The full real game will cost money

[gritty sierra]

when blood will be added again

[quaint mirage]

thats the thing i hate

im broke as hell

[torpid wagon]

How long does it take to get approved for a play test on Steam?

[devout hinge]

You aren't broke you just don't have a way to add money to steam

[devout hinge]

10 minutes to 24 hours

[devout hinge]

Sometime after the Tokyo gameshow

[torpid wagon]

Thank you

[quaint mirage]

well my parent just doesnt allow me to

[devout hinge]

Bro your discord account is from 2021 you cannot possibly be that young

[quaint mirage]

idek how to put money to steam

[lament wraith]

im forever thankful that halfsword is moddable

[amber whale]

craziest strike ive ever got

thing is i spawned in without a weapon so i grappled that guy and punched him to death then picked up his axe and took half his head

[torpid wagon]

where is the blood in the game?

[blazing pagoda]

#faq

[torpid wagon]

shit

[lavish summit]

lol

Dude was begging for his life while I emoted

[devout hinge]

So far only the demo is moddable

And the most mods it got was like 3 reshades, 1 trainer and 1 splitscreen

[weak crescent]

I've been going for strikes from behind, and got a bit closer to what I want, its hard to aim obv

[tawdry solar]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/iC0gVSsqqRGJKCDrQ/d13372xdMQzF?invite=cr-MSw2eHMsMTg4NDM5NzcwLA This play had me sweating balls

[vestal anvil]

hi guys, does anyone know if there will be multiplayer in half sword?

[devout hinge]

#faq

[vestal anvil]

oh, thank you

[wooden rover]

Update when

[devout hinge]

Soon™️

[stiff belfry]

is that big guillotine blade pole arm called a vogue or am i crazy

[vague spade]

Guys guys guys I have a crazy idea!!! TOURNAMENT MODE!!!! Yeah no?

[iron loom]

That would make a great challenge mode for sure

[vague spade]

My thoughts are next lvl frfr smh

I'd need a Spectator Mode too though in case I lose I wanna know who wins ykwis??

[iron loom]

I wonder I haven't played yet as I don't have access to the play test but is there a zweihander or some form of great sword? (That's my favorite tool irl)

[vague spade]

Yes there is

[iron loom]

Oh kinda like overgrown?

[vague spade]

Overgrown?

[iron loom]

Awesome

[iron loom]

It's a physics based combat/martial arts game with hype realistic furries basically XD

It's honestly fun as hell

[vague spade]

lmfao sounds fun smh

[iron loom]

To be a bunny and deliver a crushing kick to the head feels amazing fr fr

Look up overgrown videos

[vague spade]

sth like this right?

[vague spade]

Bet

[iron loom]

Ohh not a zweihander but it surely will do the trick!

This is a zweihander in case you didn't know

Generally a 4.7 to 5.4 foot sword

It's the perfect attack sword

[devout hinge]

There's a greatsword for the last and 2nd to last class

[vague spade]

Let me see wait

[iron loom]

Thanks I'll keep that in mind when I get the game

[vague spade]

Btw it's overgrowth I know the game I just forgot haha

[iron loom]

Ohhh growth not grown but yeah it's fun as hell

[vague spade]

haha I figured

[iron loom]

The blood is scarily accurate at times too

[devout hinge]

Just in case you cant figure where the classes are

[iron loom]

Oh ok thank you that menu does look a bit subtle

[devout hinge]

Check this out cuh #halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[iron loom]

Holy shit!

Now that's what I'm talking about

[vague spade]

Oh!😀

[devout hinge]

There's also some stuff in #work-in-progress

[vague spade]

@iron loom I couln't find a Zweihänder but there are definitely Greatswords

[vague spade]

How cute

[iron loom]

Meh as long as I get a sword that's about the size of my body I'll be happy I don't expect to be catered to XD

[mystic wedge]

how are you getting armour? and wepaons

i only get alike a knife

[trail pivot]

on the right side you have icons and you can click those to change tier

[wary crater]

is there way to skip ahead in the demo? i get the impression that u have to battle ur way up to the good stuff but i'd like to not trial and error for 40 minutes to get my hands on a sword

[devout hinge]

there is a trainer that allows you to spawn armor and weapons

https://github.com/massclown/HalfSwordModInstaller/releases/latest/download/HalfSwordModInstaller.exe

link taken from here if you dont trust me https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/3

[wary crater]

ur a champ ty

[devout hinge]

heres like the main page of the trainer

https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/1

it has some keybinds there that could help you i guess

[idle crane]

New record for number of devs ive seen online

[devout bronze]

they're up to something...

[chilly oracle]

what if they are working on the blood

[devout bronze]

[chilly oracle]

and impact sound stuff

[devout bronze]

[arctic cradle]

Think hes getting up?

[idle crane]

just missing goodmalware adrak and fiberman

[worn heron]

plotting

[devout bronze]

then they'll REALLY be up to something...

the bunch of schemers...

[devout hinge]

today i havent seen less than 5 devs online

[idle crane]

same

average is usually 3 or 4

[worn heron]

well galaxy is busy playing RDR2

[idle crane]

It could be a trick

[chilly oracle]

did they say it was gonna be September for the blood update? I heard something about September at some point but dont remember

[idle crane]

https://tenor.com/view/jedi-starwars-mind-trick-obiwan-gif-5199308

[worn heron]

After September

After Tokyo Games show, really

Which runs Sept 26-29th

[devout bronze]

an elaborate ruse... but for what?

[chilly oracle]

my personal tin foil hat theory is early October

[devout hinge]

next year is hardcore!

[devout bronze]

LOL

[idle crane]

https://tenor.com/view/hope-gif-19238353

[worn heron]

[chilly oracle]

but hear me out, if they have been working on it and its essentially almost ready or at least in a playable form from the videos already sent by them and they cant do it until the show then I think after the show when they settle back down from it, it could be added in some time of early october

[chilly oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-day-gif-18564553

[worn heron]

oh they've been working on it for over a year kekw

this picture is about a year old

[chilly oracle]

I cant tell in the photo or not but a lot of games for blunt force injury just have the head explode or stuff instead of cave in which is a weird detail I have seen

[devout hinge]

exploding is cooler

[chilly oracle]

well yeah

I cant argue with that

[chilly oracle]

its probably also easier to do from a dev perspective

[lime moat]

The over the top gore is somehow less gruesome than more realistic injuries like a caved in skull

[chilly oracle]

I honestly dont know which would be better for the game, I think it just depends on how its done of either an "arena fighter" or a "war/fighting is hell" game

[arctic cradle]

so uh, fella's need a opinion for this feller

[worn heron]

they have a very realistic gore system

always ever-improving

cheers to Fiber, Galaxy, and Def0rp

[arctic cradle]

Yout think he's ok?

[trail pivot]

he just wanted a hug and you murdered him

[arctic cradle]

he started it.

[chilly oracle]

its very impressive, they deserve a pat on the back

[lilac cosmos]

Hello, I was wondering if any game developer could accept the Half Sword Playtest request that I just requested. Thank you!

[hexed loom]

Is there no blood rn?

[jovial wren]

nope

#faq

[hexed loom]

Why am I getting no blood

[jovial wren]

there is no blood rn

[hexed loom]

oh

bruh

[jovial wren]

they said it should be out by the end of the month

[hexed loom]

I aint tryna wait that long

[jovial wren]

they're also cooking up a new gore system wich looks insane

[hexed loom]

But like

cant they make a seperate branchin betas

Im not a dev and I don't know the difficulty of steam stuff but I do know all they did was remove files and patch areas, they can do like a beta branch in the meantinme

[soft osprey]

Suuuper late sorry I was just searching for the ping and saw it lol Yes of course I do. I also threw in some extra spicy ones for you

And one loving proposal

[hexed loom]

Okay dude what the fuck?

[arctic cradle]

uhhhhhhh

[soft osprey]

Shut up beta wolf

[hexed loom]

Beta is crazy

Im a Sugma male bro

[peak perch]

What the Sigma? Yo is that skibidi love?

[soft osprey]

On skibidi it’s the most sigma skibidi love possible. Gooning so hard, edge sesh is ongoing for a good month

[hexed loom]

Im ngl having 0 gore ruins the point of the injury system

Unless its fists

[peak perch]

Bro that lits no diddy

[soft osprey]

Sorry but this is actually lying

[hexed loom]

How do I know where im hit with a blade? Am I bleeding? Do I have a broken bone?

No clue 0 gore

[soft osprey]

You remember where you hit them

And puffs of what I assume are dust come out

Arms go limp

They fall over. They hold the injured spot

[hexed loom]

True

but like the whole slicing thing in rapid pace combat

[soft osprey]

I get it though, gore would be great

Just wait until the end of September-mid October probably

And new gore gets added back

[hexed loom]

Punch range is weird too

how do I control that

[lilac cosmos]

tnks

[little verge]

Queue Cleared, if you are waiting on playtest access check your Steam library now.

[peak perch]

Thank you 👍🏼

[lilac cosmos]

because I see the game that bad, what configuration do I have wrong?

[storm osprey]

specify

[idle crane]

sound

and paying attention

[lilac cosmos]

I see the game very badly but before I saw it well, I don't know what happened to the graphics and now I see it badly

[storm osprey]

try relaunching the game

could be your resolution too

[devout hinge]

This is how blueberry felt after saying this

[supple cedar]

i hate my fucking wifi

[supple cedar]

holy shit

[soft osprey]

You’re missing the greatest pictures of your life. Just save them all and open your phone gallery and bam you’ll see them

[supple cedar]

how do i save voice messages

[devout hinge]

that is not willie that is willo

[worn heron]

[supple cedar]

i hate this wifi

[jolly gorge]

bruh wtf that was spot on

[worn heron]

It's almost like he's

THE GUY.

[jolly gorge]

i was finna say that it made me cringe down to my nuts, which it did at first, but then i heard it again, and i was like "this mf kinda killed it."

is he? thats fire as fuck

[devout hinge]

dont 2 different people voice willie

[worn heron]

well he voices the gruggles and ahhs

[devout hinge]

yeah

[worn heron]

Ivan voices the old English and middle German

[devout hinge]

thats not willie

its like big boss and venom snake

[worn heron]

But he is Willie

[devout hinge]

ivan does that?

[worn heron]

he is going to be doing all of the Willie lines

[worn heron]

yeuh

for now

I'm pretty sure @humble bloom is going to be redoing most of them, right?

[devout hinge]

i thought ivan was doing models or art

[humble bloom]

I'll sound exactly like willie once I replace ivans voicelines

[jolly gorge]

They pay you well for it? @humble bloom

[worn heron]

He does! He's the 3d art director

But he stepped in to go

Uhh

[supple cedar]

willie forever

[worn heron]

[devout hinge]

fiberdikibet

[worn heron]

He is held captive

[jolly gorge]

[fast bramble]

Too busy working on blood probably

Gotta appease the masses

[humble bloom]

Pretty good for the amount of work im doing.
Dry beans, and sometimes bones with a little meat left.

[fast bramble]

All they've given me is cobwebs and funky-tasting dust

[supple cedar]

[unborn skiff]

i found many bugs

[supple cedar]

poor willie

[soft osprey]

Mods, the day has come. I’m sorry to say this..truly..but. Ban. This. Man.

[worn heron]

For the playtest, Go to https://store.steampowered.com/app/2397300/Half_Sword/ to request access, wait for a confirmation email from the devs. From there you'll have the playtest available to install directly in your steam library, just please be patient as there have been 420,000 people accepted so far, so things may take a little bit, depending on who's online, it can take 1-12 hours typically.

When the confirmation email is in your inbox (be sure to check your spam just in case!) the game will be automatically added to your steam library under "Half Sword Playtest"

enjoy and welcome to HalfSword!

If you have any additional questions, check the #faq , and you can ask the mods for help too!

[soft osprey]

We can’t have mods running around leaking from their faucets

[lilac cosmos]

because there is no blood in the game

[supple cedar]

text wall ahh message

[unborn skiff]

Thanks for answer, also i found many bugs in game

[worn heron]

if they are in the playtest version, feel free to post them in #1262488181035630634 the devs and community check there every now and then

[supple cedar]

||i thought you said the n word in the beginning...||

[lilac cosmos]

Alright shenanigans were fun lets get back on topic or move it to #general-catfish-🐱🐟

Side stepping is key.

[soft osprey]

Shield, knock away charge. Side step, charge. Scythe, knock up, slice

[worn heron]

hope and pray

[soft osprey]

Barrel lids

[worn heron]

Tho true advice is to approach from a diagonal and attempt to hit the spear to the side, and hope it doesn't phase through your blade

[soft osprey]

Now you do kiddo, and knowing is half the battle -Easter island head

[little verge]

Barel lids are the earliest shield option

[supple cedar]

wait do weapons stick to sheilds

[storm osprey]

when trebuchet

[worn heron]

No

[supple cedar]

should be added ngl

[supple cedar]

but would be game breaking

[worn heron]

[soft osprey]

Idk a scythe slices damn near anyone in half up to boss 4, I’m not sure if that would break the game

[devout hinge]

do you know what else should be added

[soft osprey]

And it’s great until it turns into a beyblade

[supple cedar]

would be broken if the player used it

[soft osprey]

You give us too much credit

[supple cedar]

add blud

[devout hinge]

YOUR MOM!!!

[supple cedar]

IM GONNA SAY A BAD WORD

[stoic sedge]

wait i should be putting my clips in game footage right

damn my fault

[flint isle]

I saw it, but this game is nothing without multiplayer, everybody is waiting just for that

[slow salmon]

https://tenor.com/view/eric-andre-boo-hannibal-gif-26547020

[devout hinge]

actually most people are waiting for gore to be added back

you shouldnt be waiting for a feature that is unknown if itll be added

[cobalt ruin]

+1

[flint isle]

Most people in this server, nobody will buy this game without it, not with other similar games on the market that have it.

[devout hinge]

the game wont be just an arena like the playtest lol itll have a story and other stuff like that

[lament socket]

Some content

[soft osprey]

That’s a rediculous assumption of a statement lol

[lament socket]

https://www.youtube.com/live/Om2dZ8pq52k?si=dtoYDg43nD1VAS2M

[devout hinge]

you joined just today i dont expect you to know what most people in this server want and dont want

[soft osprey]

You mean YOU want multiplayer and won’t buy it without

[cobalt ruin]

with that statement, nobody would have bought skyrim because its singleplayer

[flint isle]

I think i am right Here, don't you want to smash your friends head with an axe?

[soft osprey]

No. Genuinely I want it to be single player.

[cobalt ruin]

not really, like its cool and all

but then they get good and I no longer have fun

[supple cedar]

im 60% sure if multiplayer is not added im not going to buy the game

[devout hinge]

it'd be nice but youre still thinking the game will be just an arena where you can fight bots

[devout hinge]

skill issue

[supple cedar]

what

[soft osprey]

He said “SKILL ISSUE”

[supple cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2memes-tf2-gmod-ragdoll-gif-26075798

[cobalt ruin]

he said "thou ist suffering of a rare affliction known as the Issue of ones skill"

[flint isle]

Skyrim=open world Game with bunch of content
Half sword= physics, slasher, only fighting Game, no story, no nothing. This game needs multiplayer, atleast co-op

[cobalt ruin]

nah disagree

respectfully

[soft osprey]

This game is 5% complete lmfao what are you on about

[desert trellis]

bro calm down its not even done yet

[soft osprey]

Again this will not just be a single arena

[cobalt ruin]

you realised that a playtest is like, not even close to finished?

[desert trellis]

theres a reason you have to apply for a playtest

[devout hinge]

holy shit i told you two times youre thinking the game will remain just an arena and it wont

[flint isle]

You think this game will have open world or something similar?

[desert trellis]

its not an open world game

[soft osprey]

Literally nobody knows

[flint isle]

Ok angry fans, chill

[cobalt ruin]

you know what, I think you just dont like game modes

[desert trellis]

its not skyrim gng

[flint isle]

I just want multiplayer

[devout hinge]

atleast read what people are saying

[desert trellis]

its not out yet goofy

[soft osprey]

They’re working on local split screen at most

[flint isle]

I still just played standard beta From steam

[soft osprey]

There’s a split screen mod for the demo

[desert trellis]

but what is the problem with multiplayer

like online with the playtest

is it gameplay related

[humble bloom]

Implementation

[soft osprey]

It’s a physics based fighting game

[desert trellis]

yeah i know

[soft osprey]

That’s really tough to make multiplayer with networking

[desert trellis]

type

idk much about games

[flint isle]

When is this game expected to complete

[devout hinge]

[devout hinge]

well why dont you fucking read it

[desert trellis]

Hahahaha i knew you would do that

[cobalt ruin]

You cant really make an educated assumption that a game will fucken fail just because it dosent have a multiplayer gamemode, engine limations are always a thing, and ping is especially a problem. im Australian, The guy in America is gonna dog on me as soon as I load in because my ping is like 216 at all times. Multiplayer is a nice concept but with how the game is nothing more than a pipe dream

[hollow coral]

how do y'all even get so good at this game. Feels like I try for a parry or a block and the swords just magically repell like magnets

[desert trellis]

just stop being ass

[hollow coral]

damn

never thought of that

[brittle robin]

Don't try to block just hit them before they hit you

[soft osprey]

In the demo or playtest

Playtest you can parry but it takes learning

Demo forget it just charge and flail

#1263248218297339915

[tacit path]

hate them personally and lock in

throw a stool to disorient and hit them very hard with a shovel

[weak roost]

Some mechanics require you to meet them in the middle.

If you fight them, you will be annoyed sooner or later.

[tacit path]

they are parasites

[stiff belfry]

learning all the defense just makes the game harder for no reason in my opinion

[weak roost]

Play how you want.

[stiff belfry]

that’s why i laugh when i see all these clips of blade control and parrying like you do not need to know how to do that shit bro just learn accuracy and how to do basic blocks and rangefinding and you’ll be fine

idk how to roll someone’s sword off of me and stab them off a parry but i can also just slam my sword into their neck 45 seconds in

[weak roost]

🤷‍♂️ That's boring to me.

[stiff belfry]

that’s why we turn damage to NPC down and play carnage

must kill super willies

[soft osprey]

It’s just how those people have fun. Haven’t you ever roleplayed in an rpg game?

It looks sick to parry n shit like that

Gets some cool shots

[long sandal]

the candle holder in spoilance is busted

only the shovel or buckler can beat it

[weak roost]

At the end of the day, I believe you'll be punished when the game furthers in development.

[weak roost]

Buckler OP

Best weapon in the game.

[long sandal]

instant bone breaks

gauntlets are more fun in spoilance tho

[brisk osprey]

crushed his head by flexing my right pec and the ref had enough ...

[stiff belfry]

i have better defense than anyone here and i’d put money on that i just enjoy quick non lethal kills more

yall how the fuck do i get up?

[stiff belfry]

quite literally all you can do is hold W and pray

[jovial wren]

damn

[stiff belfry]

if he was close you can grab him though and try to trip him

[final vortex]

i love my aim

[stiff belfry]

just learn accuracy and basic blocking in this game and youll be a unit

[woven nexus]

not true, holding shift makes you get up faster, swinging a weapon with momentum while walking into it also helps you get up quicker

many times after being knocked down if your legs aren't entirely destroyed doing both of these ^ enables a comeback

[graceful stone]

anyone know how long itll take to get acces to the early access?

[smoky gulch]

anyone know how to fix this, its whenever i die and have to respawn

[stiff belfry]

holding shift will either make you go faster or freeze you in place

[sullen vault]

how do i play the version thats not in the dark

my favorite grapple because its doable

i wish i recorded this, he was about to rush me but i rushed first, and drived the hoe right into his cheek

[chilly oracle]

Jack Locks are really good

[fierce wedge]

i love the "donk" sounds when you hit someone with the blunt part of the hoe

[chilly oracle]

there should be a mod that replaces them with the meme bonk sound

[fierce wedge]

turns out thats the wood hitting the pavement

[modest quarry]

How do i fix the out of video memory error?

Controller support is nice
