@scarlet ice za
that was close
I LOVE CUDDLING ON THE GROUND
if the big update this year doesnt have a remove grapple button or removes grabbing whilst being on the ground/KO'd im going to learn to code and do it myself, this shit can be hotfixed within a day
I aint no foot doctor but I think he need some milk
By all means
the joke just flew over your pretty little head didnt it
You didn’t say a joke? If anything you werent serious when you said it but you didn’t make a joke lol
That’s called sarcasm
same thing, dont come at me with semantics bc english isnt my native language
Bruh what’s with the attitude lol settle down
sarcasm is something different
bruh whats with your attitude? i didnt say anything mean to you?
Lmao okay I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and just teach you instead
and then telling me not to come at you over semantics because I responded to to your attitude
So yes please settle down and move on. I just woke up and I’m not tryna start my day off bad
is it really that impiortant
yeah you were like 'no thats a slightly different way of saying you mean something else actually' like you knew what i meant, it was semantics
…
Good fuckin lord
I’m gonna move on now
i didnt ask for your input in the first place, if you dont want to argue then dont start the argument
You said it was a joke??
Dude honestly just drop it or get a timeout. I’m not in the mood for your bullshit
open half sword chat
look inside
argument about not half sword
bruh yall are acting like 12 year olds
As I said three times now. MOVE ON
'how dare you respond to me as i am not dropping the argument either, time to mod abuse!' again, if you dont want to argue, then dont argue w me. you can move on, i just respond to you
Ah that explains it
how do yall choose armor?
@timber vigil through the trainer mod
theres mods already???
tf the npc did a 360 and kicked me right in the head and got knocked

It's Willie's left hook, it gives One Punch Man a run for his money
First person mode by pressing V. I also like to turn off lock-on and crank the fov up
Is this a normal occurrence, I've never been so defeated

Half Sword Playtest Gameplay - Realistic Medieval Combat
#medieval #gameplay #history #realistic #fencing #longsword #halfsword #hema #physicsbasedgame #shorts
Good morning to anyone in central time
chat what level do i need to post pics
Just chat until you’re level 2. It takes about 2 hours of chatting. You get xp for one message every 60 seconds
oh wow i just got it lol
Haha good timing
bro won but at what cost
is this cursed file?
managed to get the hammer and willies head in focus
How do I get this armor
KILL EVERYONE
now that was some actual hema
why do i instantly lose when i start a fight and then its like im still fighting but the entire choose the next fight thing shows up
not sure, but you can post it in bugs
nvm i changed the graphics from epic to high and it works now
god i wish i can play on epic 🙏
It’s a somewhat uncommon bug unfortunately. It used to happen a lot more lol
I wish I could play cinematic
I wish i could hema
I wish I could
laughing cause my game runs smoothly on cinematic
unless there is a lot of blood
why is the text quality shit for me
What kind of system are you running and what resolution?
Also demo or playtest
oooohh I see
?
I can run high with a solid 75 fps on my sad gaming laptop
(3050ti, ryzen 7 5800h)
32gb ddr4 3200
32gb ram on a laptop is crazy
is the text quality meant to be bad?
What do you mean
Got a screenshot?
Get a friend get a long sword and hema
is there a way to reset settings from outside the game
There is, one sec
There are two settings files, for graphics settings go to C:\Users\computerusername\AppData\Local\VersionTest54\Saved\Config\Windows (replace computerusername with your computer's username) where there is GameUserSettings.ini. Either delete that or edit it to adjust your settings.
For resetting game settings (lock on, etc.) go to Go to C:\Users\computerusername\AppData\Local\VersionTest54\Saved\SaveGames and delete Settings.sav, you can't edit it because it's encrypted but deleting it resets your settings on game launch.
You may need to enable viewing hidden files
Wait so there won't be anymore updates for the playtest until early access launches? I heard it comes out in october at the latest
demo and playtest won't be reciving anymore updates, devs are focusing on early access release for Q4 2025
october would be the earliest
sorry im BRAND new lol, are the servers down for the playtest?
There's no multiplayer if that's what you're asking, but you should be able to get it by requesting access on the Steam store page. It'll be added automatically to your library.
Half Sword is an immersive, physics-based medieval combat simulator that offers players a unique experience of becoming a commoner-turned-knight, fighting brutal tournaments in 15th-century Europe. With innovative gameplay mechanics, you can wield your weapon with precision using your mouse, feeling the intensity of each clash as you ascend the ...
2025
when i try to run it, it says fatal error
Out of luck friend
What are your specs?
Natural selection
Actually, try this: Go to your Steam library and right click the game in the list. Click properties. In the general tab, add "-dx11" to the launch options like this
Then try starting the game
I barely run on High
thank you
hit bro so hard his helmet said bye
130 fps on cinematic
Is this playtest or demo?
I have an RTX 4080 Super, i9-14900kf, and 64GB of RAM and it struggles on cinematic in the playtest, but that's about what I get for cinematic in the demo
Gah damn, I was wondering if there is anything we can do as a player to optimize Halfsword
Would be nice to have a bit more frames
Wondering this too. I tried that one guide on Steam but it's done little to assist in FPS
And changing resolution appears to do nothing
You used to be able to tweak the graphics options in the config files but one of the latest updates made it so that if you do that it automatically sets all the options to low
I would love to run cinematic smoothly so I can record free cam
For what it's worth cinematic in the playtest isn't an intended graphics option, it's a default Unreal Engine thing for CGI and there's barely any difference between Epic and Cinematic besides FPS and maybe slightly better shadows
First image is Epic, second is cinematic, both DX12
Gotcha thank you, also since you're knowledgeable, what's the pro and con for dx12 does it look better?
DX12 imo does look better, it's more unstable though (causes crashes for some people and it runs worse). There's some custom shaders Galaxy made that only works in DX12.
Thank you!
Epic vs Cinematic in DX11
i think im a bit too good at hitting dead bodies in this game...
Dx12 has that extra oomph
Me with my 2018 Ibuypower that can’t run the game while streaming with two different stream applications over medium graphics
In your experience is dx12 instability noticable?
Relatable, I try to cut them into the smallest pieces I can
It really depends on your hardware. As I mentioned before I have an RTX 4080 Super, i9-14900kf, and 64GB of RAM. Epic in DX11 runs at around 120 fps for me, in DX12 it runs at about 60 with stuttering so I have to drop down to High.
I run the game in 4k, though
Gah dam maybe not for me then, I run dx11 high at 120 fps to 80 fps when blood is spilt
Yeah it's a bit demanding. They've mentioned they know it's unoptimized and will be working on that later, though.
Looks handsome in both
why is dx 12 bad
Fatal error!
Unhandled Exception: 0xc06d007e
what might one do here?
turn it off and turn it on
He's a very handsome man
There's a bunch of ReShade presets for graphics, a trainer mod for spawning stuff, slow-mo, etc., and there's one called the Quality of Life mod that does some of the same things as the trainer mod but also does a bunch of other stuff I'm not sure about
How do I dowload it??
Can you help me🙏🙏
Which one?
What is the timer in the corner
The quality of life
I haven't installed that one myself so I'm not sure how it works, but I think it has an installer
Shameless plug but I got a whole guide for Quality of life mod
Where?
@ you in mod guild
same
gonna try to update my drivers here, ill let yall know if it works
Good luck!
lol thank you
For the good players or sweats what is a good difficulty you put the game to? So far I like player damage to NPC all the way down but one hair over.
I like playing at default damage or high damage to player and NPC, since duels will end with 1 mistake
Ok, that sounds fun
updating drivers didnt work, anyone know how to fix this? i looked it up and it said corrupted files, but i dont know where to clear cache in local game files.
Still making progress
what are you making?
I got a little bored while playing so I managed to get completely out of the rings. Anyone else try the same.
A coif
alright do a pierce test
Hmmmmm
probably hasnt been hardened yet so the rings wouldnt hold up?
and its butted maille so if it gets stabbed hard enough the rings will just open up. its a purely decoration/boredom piece
stranger danger
i have murderous intent
in half sword, right?
maybe
guys uh i istalled the trainer mod but now i want to remove it, can anyone be cutie patootie give a tip on how to remove it?
i wasnt responding to that you goober
Alternate history where chainmaille never stopped being used:
@wind charm shield user detected
holy shit these regular greatswords are so light XD
ah much better
@scarlet ice
I feel how slower weapons don't do as much damage
anyone else get horrific fps when dismembering enemies (especially when there's multiple enemies)? running a 4090 and 5900x, 32gb ram for reference
It does, but when hitting, it feels like
... t a p ...
Nope
this is the only game i have problems with fps. in 1v1 i have 130ishfps at 4k on high, but in carnage it can get down to 18 (not joking)
That's why i dont play 3v3
well it's odd because my friend who admittedly has a better cpu, but worse gpu, doesn't have this problem at all
But on carnage it runs good to me
believe he has 7800x3d and a 4070
Maybe you should switch to 1080
res makes 0 difference to my fps
What directX you are using?
THE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIGHT stick I put some nails in
12
Well i dont know, just ask some devs, but anyway the game is not even done so yeah
i just had 40 fps in buhurt at 4k. tried full screen 640x480 - same 40 fps lol
When will we get custom loadouts so we dont have to use presets?
No
Dont try lower the rezolution
Well for me on 640×480 works insanely bad
On every game
how did you get a custom build?
i've tried everything in this and it always runs like shit lately, idk why. used to be ok
Just downgrade your pc
trainer mod or QOL mod
What did i miss?
this one made me wince a bit then
omg green lanter
put my sword in his chin and pushed it up along his face
cut it off : )
yeah i've done that one before its pretty grim
empty
hmong liab what weapon should i use
i surgically removed this guys forearm
i love it when you beat your chest like a warrior before whalloping him
i think he was just setting up the left punch
its a mod called trainer mod
bird of a feather
fucked it a bit at the start but the end move was nice
The immediate give up is relatable
Is there a road map for the game? Or a general status where we are right now?
Switching hands is such a sleeper mechnaic. So powerfull
Thanks ❤️
i hold left click and try to swing but my dude just holds it front of him with stiff arms
my mouse might just be on its last straw
Nutz hitbox when?
boop
is there a tactic to breaking bones
currently i just beat them with the blunt of the weapon till their arm breaks
yeah
yeah pretty much just smack em in the joints
damn no update in almost 3 months?
twill be longer my friend. The playtest has primarily served it's purpose— for now, the devs are going gung-ho into Early Access, focused on developing that so we will have a great product for the final Quarter of this year! 
there are some things they were previously working on for the playtest to my knowledge, but those got moved to early access so the team could allocate more resources to EA (not the company lmao). Hope this helps with some answers! You can find our official roadmap in #announcements
also I'm doing well thank you
my nephew was born last week and just got home not long ago
idk why he let me do this

Halfsword RatRaider
willie fucked me up good
I love you for this

have headbutt's been considered for implementation?
they are kinda alr in the game
i would love to thrust it forward sometimes
i love how goofy this outfit is
that's stylin'
blacksmith unlock when
i feel like every tom dick and harry is using it, either that or its just the same 5 people reposting clips that put me to shame
that's a kit that's not in current rotation; QQ i too want that build
fkin lockon failed me
sad NEET noises
you sorta can, you just gotta whip your camera down at the right footing. (holding shift helps you get a bit extra oomph in your stance for it.)

how do people pick the armor and weapons theyre using
would you happen to know where I can find that?
ill tag you in mod guild
I would greatly appreciate that
lalalalalallallalalllalalallaaa
love your outfit
1 year in the playtest and already bugs, devs fix rn
my god the game is so unplayable 😭😡
how do you spin kick
hold down shift
and spin, as soon as you see your character initiate the spin press space
make sure to aim high also
am i just lucky, with 100 hours in the game i havent encounter 1 bug yet. Only a crash when i was using the quality of life mod.
GLOOBOOBOLLLERRY DRAGOOON
any way to make it more consistent?
Timing
Do it about 1-2 seconds before they run into you
Like in the first clip on the video
there's also a cresent kick
but it's hard
how do i make my punches better?
like how do i make them do this type of shit https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/jKWYU1g9Pydnq2-yj?invite=cr-MSxmd20sNTI5NTg0NjAs
move your mouse back and forth like your life depends on it
alr
McWonderBeast what do you think of this image?
what is this YA-HO-HO-HO-HOEY ass winscreen bro 😭
i have zero idea what that means
You little freak
Day 2 of me asking if we can get choke outs/jujitsu in this game, let me armband this damn knight
Game should have a speed changing feature
like a slowmotion button or gamespeed slider
there is a mod for that i believe
is it only me or i have performance issues ?
with the game?
I can't relate just turn the graphics down all the ways that's what I do with most action games
Or just games that demand a lot
embed failure el em ay oh
I missed this earlier. Willie's weren't designed to fly or land.......
how do i get these fuckers to let go off me bro kicking isnt working T-T
IVE BEEN IN THIS MATCH FOR 10 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!
max sensitivity spinning roundhouse
fix ts man T-T
this fuckin guy
devs can you just like give me a glock bro
an emergency glock for situations like this
in the settings T-T
the most INFURIATING thing in the game
Next update: jetpack joywilly
this is him after he landed
bro's in love with ya fr
I wish him nothing but torment and agony
Meh he could walk that of, just being lazy.
Bro look at my new clip in game footage spinning is so fun
ngl armour does nothing to maces or heavy weapons when it comes to the head
thats concussive force for you
ye
lol
lol
am i wrong for this
There are still unbruised parts.. so no
where do i find the photos again?
yeah its good
he spent all his money on armor
It's so cursed
had to borrow the pitchfork from his dad
i wanna see one with the tongs
next up is a t8 knight with a hammer
it is viable
that man's head was stuck between a rock and a hard place
.
Actually a sigma fit
Maybe a silly question, but is this game multiplayer? It seems to me that I am fighting against NPCs
Its only npcs
I would love multiplayer though
blue
Heya Buddy!!
Dang! lol
continuously attacking works pretty well
willie can't keep up with the hits and you can break through
im starting to get kinda good at stabbing willie when he is on ground
i feel kind bad though
willie didn't deserve that : (
i hate when they grab onto you when they give up
and you both fall and you cant get up
yo is this multiplayer
NOpe
finally got a disarm without cutting someone's hand to chunks, interesting
Epic
well do u go against real people
Is there a way to thrust on controller? Same as thrust mode?
Nope
bruh so u js go against ai the whole time
Yeah
yes, you're not only fighting ai, you're fighting the controls so you don't walk headfirst into a sword and get instantly decapitated.
When are any of the wip things being added
guys i just downloaded the demo and its so unplayable its at like 2 fps and i can barely do anything
how to fix
I have never heard that neck snap until now, huh.
play the playtest instead/upgrade your hardware, it depends what you're running it on.
1650 and a intel i3, pretty outdated but i mean i run most games at good fps like warzone and siege
i downloaded the play test ill see if its any better
yeah, thats not the greatest, I ran the demo on a 3050 and a Ryzen 5 5600X, and sometimes had dips as low as 15 fps
how do you throw the weapon
just a question, sometimes if i play a match it automatically makes me lose and the same goes with the other gamemodes, but instead of just some of time, I am unable to play the other gamemodes (carnage for example) because it just automatically makes me lose.
i just played the playtest version and its alr much better, thanks i appreciate it
i have never encountered that issue, might want to ask in feedback/play-testing.
k thanks
It's hard to nail throwing down, learn the fundamentals first.
throwing daggers seems to be the only thing you can do with a semblence of accuracy, but people are figuring out new techniques all the time
im trying to throw the axe what button is it
How do we play this version???
I only have the demo where its dark everywhere lol
download the playtest from the store page
Is it game pass or steam?
steam
AHhh thank you!!
I've just become a help desk today lmao
I dont see one for halfsword..
Same button you pick the axe up with releases your grip on it
It’s on the same steam page as the demo,
ooohhhh
Look for a button that says something like “request access”
Willie's kick did not go as planned.
it seems like a scary button to press but you should get access instantly
So is it other people your playing against or still bots?
All bots, all the time
oh okay awesome! roughly how long does it take for the email to verify you?
No email. you will just get a prmopt on screen saying you are accepted
Oh, on steam?
Yeah
Thank yall for the answers! me and my whole group have been looking for it lol
I'm about to end this man's whole family tree
blindly rushing in might not have been the best idea huh
what would you guys name this move
"Willie is that a sword in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? "
Theyre just peasants no rebels
yeah i feel the evil aura coming off of the rebel peasant, youre so right
knife fighting in this game is fucking fun.
holding my sword in willie is kinda enjoyable ngl
Jam it in there and wiggle it around!
gooberish
HUH
one of the rare examples where charging in head first works
The beloved headbutt
one of the common of examples of charging head first failing
should i fight a t8 knight next unarmored
yes
who could've predicted that 💀
ill send it when i get it
I GOT IT
mine now
@lusty vine yo wtf was that on the left in the video u just posted on #game-footage-🎮🎥

woah man
Question, is this closed beta? (New here) i wanna play but only have the demo and surround by nothing but darkness lmao
Just click request playtest on steam and you get it immediately
I wish nothing but good things for you my guy 🤝 i appreciate it
Ultra rare all white outfit
Gotta look crispy when going to the tourney.
fucken rat
are bodies supposed to despawn when you're tabbed out of the game
hi im john
Thats mind blowing
I Did not just scrap his face off...
how did you get the trainer for this version?
Is it normal that it costs so much to dismember?
It's funny to see how little blood there is on his sword, compared with how much he is actually bleeding
Does the chainmail actually work? I always swear it never worked
hes hiding under the fence
Aww, guys, look who can no longer wield his 10 kilometer long spiked spear
Got his hand destroyed, and he's looking at me like it's my fault, wait...
Do you guys think he will dare to use his spear again?
heh
tabbed in to a jumpscare
Lmfao that’s great
How do I use the quality of life trainer?
David VS Goliath
Pls help🙏🙏
you will win
lost to this guy but beat my next opponent
told you
Help!!@
Ask in #modders-guild-hall
the REAL brave stand
I tried
@soft osprey can you help me? It's important
Finally joined the Discord. Thank you devs for not only making such an amazing game, but also making it free to test!
I unfortunately don’t use mods so I’m not too knowledgeable about the topic
he is tha mod 🗿
So, mods? What is the spiky stick officially supposed to be? I'm leaning towards being a Holy Water Sprinkler (a 16th century English morgenstern variant) or a goedendag (a 14th century Flemish weapon)
Placon a picot, goedendag, nobody really knows for sure. There’s not many references to it in history so the name isn’t totally clear.
Spikey stick
I just looked up the plançon à picot, it's that. A goedendag only has the top spike, it was why I was confused
Ah, no image perms. Was going to post an image of a French reenactor who looked exactly like a Half Sword character
With the spiky stick
Just brapped. AMA.
god pitchfork is so easy
just run in a straight line and then thrust when the guy is in your way
Willie is kind of ass at the game atm
But the devs have said that Willie is going to be possibly unfairly skilled in early access
Yeah pretty much xd
Or something along those lines
They said that they have made a Willie that is beating their ass
plancon and Goedenag are the same weapon the name variance is if you were French or Flemish.
uh oh
pitchfork willie
he's gonna be unbeatable
I usually just try my best to get as close as possible against a pitchfork willie or any long range weapon, and swing recklessly hoping for the best 🗿
ok so if
if you have a shield and a weapon that can stab then you can just hold your shield up and wait for willie to attack you
and then you stab, left shift, back up, repeat
that has worked for me more than twice so far
Why did you brap?
why are the blunt weapons dealing so much damage now
How cool would a Dwarven'ish War Hammer be in half sword
Ignored!
god its so satisfying to cut a limb off a knight

tried to run at dx12 with all the lowest settings and it still didn't work
same with dx11
Have you lowered the graphics and gore settings? What’s happening when it crashes?
Ah
i'll dm you a screenshot of the error message
Alrighty
Thoughts on this colorway? After 15 minutes of rolling this is the first decent one I liked hah
my head was in prime bashing position there lmao
Taking a close look of the halfsword fist combat
yall we gotta appreciate the smaller details like well done devs lol, minor details that add to the feel of the game substancially 🙌
Blunt rips sword
is it possible to deliver a lethal blow to the head with a mace in a top-tier 1v1?
for me they just give up
they cooking
we love the devs 🙏
if not, it should be
like, imagine getting your head clapped with a frying pan, while having a metal pot on your head
your brains would go squish squish
what's even funnier is that you CAN make someone's head implode, it seems, with a fist
the day emotion gets added this game is gonna go from like 100 to 300
but not with a mace
seeing someone react to getting their throat slit compared to the blank stare we got now will be crazy
correct me if i'm wrong, tho
yeah, facial animations are gonna be insane
this game is just peak knight roleplay material
do they have a gofundme or something like the higher the budget the better the game
or like patreon
they are funded by gameseer, no need for a kickstarter or something
me aswell, antcipated that kickstarter for months on end when it was brought up
when is the uptade coming
first game in the video
there'll be no more free updates, they're working towards the early access version which is like in 8 months or so
glad they are getting a top shelf spot
well deserved
it it just me or does this feel more graphic than usual, not like gore wise but vibe wise.
Ok I did not know that the big battle axe can split helmets in half. Willie duplicated his head from shock
you say they can do what now
Ok it did not split visualy, but I was practicing overheads and that Willies head split in half and the helmet went flying.
That full cover helmet
does that mean there'll be a pre-order or early access release in 8 months? or is that just a roadmap type of thing?
8 months... I could have a son by then 
name him willie
early access build release yes, and there is a roadmap if you look at #announcements
its a pretty short one but yknow still has some good info
hype
when does multiplayer come out ?
never
id imagine closer to the full release, im no gamedev nor coder so idk how difficult peer-peer or matchmaking would be
Oh cool, you can also press Alt to make an overhead swing. Weapon up and a quick Alt for a swing.
multiplayer for a physics based game like this is mega difficult, the chances for desync is way too high
alt is actually for stabbing, isnt it?
you say that like it's confirmed
does multiplayer come out ?
thats fair, besides it works great as Player vs Comp and i want to see the team make the best of it as they can. my only complaint at the moment is the lack of loadout but the #work-in-progress looks good for when it's added
yall quick question if an npc has their blade at your throat for long enough does it force you to surrender too or nah?
i dont think so
There’s a tutorial in the demo, but overall controls are very simple.
WASD to move, E and Q to grab, hold ALT to get into stabbing stance, hold left click and swing for regular swings, hold right click to halfsword. Press X to swap hands, and spacebar to kick.
easy to learn hard to master
From there it’s up to you to learn the tricks of the game
There’s definitely a bit of a learning curve to get actually good
kebab willie
How can I play it like this too?
Are you playing the demo or playtest?
damo
When will the game be released in Turkey?
I Can't Play This Way in the Demo
because the demo isnt the playtest
How Can I Access Game Testing?

on the same page you got the demo from
Okay
just a lil lower
Yo do your guys weapons ever just have a mind of their own?
Not gonna lie I’ve become mildly addicted to doing random 1v1’s and seeing the stupid ways I can just one knock someone
I have to use play?

La playlist
Do you ever just decapitate someone you beat
Like, if they hit you with a very small weapon
Gotta punish the disrespect
Or sometimes you gotta let em live but take a limb
He got a little too desperate, and hit me with this pose
Mr. Beast ahh smile}

So... how do I use a shield? I'm really bad at shields
Shield tutorial
Step 1:
Press q
shields are only useful on lower tier armors
Exactly
I usually play armorless, helmet and gambeson, or only breastplate tiers
If you get shield and falchion
imo I prefer to use two hand
I think sheilds mostly just inhibit the range of movement
once you go to about the top two tier armors shields become redundant
but I also prefer shortswords over longswords, so take my opinions with a grain of salt.
reach is way more useful than the protection a shield gives you
it could be better if we had better movement options with a sheild
and we could maybe shield bash opponents
seriously!
but as of now having the reach of a longsword or polearm is more important than being protected
Imagine if sheild damage got added
like you'd be able to deal with shield users via slicing away at their shield
I can do instant knockout when I'm lucky using a buckler, but beyond that I'm not able to
i mean thats what axes are for
and if you use top tier armors, they're dead weight anyway
Armsman
This is how we treat shield users
and that, people, is why we wear bevors
Yup.
thats propaganda
don't wear bevors
binkers all day
Bro I genuinely just use shortsword over longsword sometimes
it's a lot easier to get precise pokes with shorsword in my opinion
🥱
better yet the dagger
SERIOUSLY DUDE!
Daggers do crazy damage for no reason
they should add bollocks daggers
I think the most damaging weapons in the game are
2 handed axe
Falchion at #1
Axe at #2
Daggers (Thrusting) at #3
Shortsword (Half sword) #4
The reason shortsword is so far up is because of this one tech
if you've ever cut stuff with one of those cabled or wires
you know what I mean
You can just headlock someone then cut them in half
big spiky stick should be at number one
The plancon does do large damage
HOWEVER it is mostly due to bleed and accumulated bone damage
Not direct damage, so it ranks lower
oh thats what its called
Mhm
Oh also imo the plancon is impractical. It leaves you effectively wide open to attack, and you basically have to flail with it. Otherwise it's just a spear with added dead weight.
the poleaxe is probably the best jack of all trades weapon
Yoo, a lazy sword, nice
"It is vital.. It is CRUCIAL that you AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
this is the best ragdoll i've ever seen in this game
First person needs more fov
Just, adjust fov lol
Idk if promo but I’ve made a ufc style instagram called @ medievalfightchampionship would appreciate if you checked it out🙏 (see photography and game footage channels)
Even at max fov fp is useless
Well he sure was determined
Tryna see 360 degrees or something? 
happy
duality of man
First person is surely interesting
Did you alter therese ones lol those smiles are so intense 😅
Nice spin move
Stool is my favorite fucking weapon in the game
is this game considered atleast somewhat optimized in its current state
cpu heavy right
Not really, no
thats great news
Early access will run much smoother im sure
Not 360 degrees just fatter fov
Ultra high res textures in low graphic preset is optimized to you?
It means the framerate will get better in the future
How is he SMILING?!? 😮 I also love this and want to save this lol
.
Also just got a NICE combo/disarm:

What are your specs btw?
That is pretty cool
Disgusting
Wearing armor against a peasant
I love the 4v1
He had his friends surround me earlier lol.. I'd argue it's more disgusting ganging up on someone 4 to 1!
Me, too! It's one of my fave modes lol
coward
No not a coward
Even then you don't have to go as low as them
You have to be better than them
Most of us fought against the 3 armored red guys with just a helmet
💔
4090 and 7800x3d
I'm still playing demo
It's good but it makes you ragequit when it fucking glitches
Like why did my scythe dissapear
What is the real one out
Can you run it at max settings?
cinematic gets me like 30 fps on 3k
What res 
while epic gets me 144 plus on the same 3k
I'll admit, I always got as much armor as I could when I got to them and beyond lol.. I see it as increasing my odds 😛
How big is the difference
You're good at this lol, I'm still figuring out the sliders (I use web version)
Like how good does it look compared to high
it looks the exact same which is confusing
i know the game is supposedly coming out in the 4th quarter of this year but is there a confirmed month?
is there a way to hide the hat/helmet in first person view?
no i dont think so
its really anoying

is that a custom loadout, and if so, how do i make my own?
It totally is! I don't mod much, but this tutorial made everything SUPER easy; I used 2 mods in total:
Quick tutorial on how to use OVRDTH SELECTOR and the half sword quality of life mod to make a personalized loadout in the playtest of half sword

Sweet I didn’t know there was a video tutorial for it. Will be using this in the future thanks
You're welcome, bro! Yeah, the Quality of Life mod REALLY elevates things! In-game slow-mo at ANY time, and INFINITE STAMINA! 😄
Guys how can I play an other map then the dark depressed one?
Do I need to do this?
Yes
thanks bro
Yw!
bro thinks hes the referee
how does one achieve this form
my sword just slipped out of my hands and got stuck in this guy
it just did that on its own
delicious graphics
can he GET OFF ME
how do i find my photos?
how do i find them in the files though
if you want the files, browse your local files from steam, under VersionTest54 folder, in the screenshots folder
Im at the remote ddl section, but i cant seem to find the Half sword proccess
Do you have the game open?
im trying that right now, lets see...
where is steam?
got it
Nice! Yeah, that part tripped me up at first, too
under your program files probably, just use the drop down menu
oh thank you
OHHHHHHHHHHHH
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT
GAHHHHH THAT'S SO OBVIOUS, THANK YOU THANK YOU
i have so many pictures to upload
#photography📷 message
holy fuck
i dont even care abt how terribly itll run i NEEEED to start using cinematic graphics
immediately scales the cool factor up to 11
@tulip spire the photo you just posted in #photography📷 kind of looks like some sort of propaganda pic or one of those old school boxing photos lmao I really like it
exact vibe i was going for! i even put it in the message lmao
i'll post more t'morrow
i have tons of good ones
Hell yeah
Flesh amalgam
how do i holster a weapon, holding q/e just drops it
I had ovrdths, but this just makes it better. Thanks!
So here's the Thing.
Hey @ebon ermine .....
remember this spark photo?
Where do I find my screenshots after using camera mode
right click half sword on your steam game list, manage, browse local files, versiontest54, screenshots
Thank you
-
Pitchforks need nerfed, same with the big spikey pole in tier 4, they are genuinely not fun to duel against. Spike pole can easily put down top tier fully armored knights with just a swing or two because at least one spike will find a gap in armor.
-
Your Willy just deciding to randomly fall over and give up ever trying to stand back up again is terrible, same with your Willy randomly getting the stanky leg and bouncing back into a stiff upright position like on a trampoline for whatever reason completely killing your directional momentum and sometimes slipping you up and causing him to once again randomly fall and basically throw your duel, definitely needs fixed.
Otherwise extremely enjoyable.
yeah
what?? it says windows protected my pc when i downloaded halfsword from itch?
windows defender is not good
okay i guess
are you hitting a black flash
where do i download latest ver tho?
oh thanks! i didnt see that before
-
Just keep your distance or parry, you could easily beat the plancoon and pitch fork with a knife.
-
Stankey leg does happen but go away when I restart the game.
if only lol
i kinda went crazy with it the moment i got the spark isolated
hey everyone pregnant man react me
Is there any cool glitches that I can do like the telekinesis glitch for fighting?
You're welcome!
Why ain't you got shoes on
cause this is kickboxing
Makes sense
I'm not really sure where to ask this so i'm sorry if i'm lost but I accidentally set the graphics to cinematic and it crashed so now it crashes every time i try to open the game
is there any way i can change the settings in a config file somewhere or something?
GUYS
The silliest bug happened to me
So, I'm playing T2 counting from the top
And I was like "Let me try the polehammer"- it's dog imo, doesn't have enough swing angle
But regardless, I was just vibing after winning a Brave Stand and I left to menus, and ended up getting a Half Plate Greatsword combo
