Swordlord Reviews

The only negative is the lack of multiplayer, other than that it's a heck of a lot of fun for a dollar. Definately a game worth playing.

Quckest turnaround ever. From the first few seconds of "What the hell have I wasted money on" to "OMG this is fun!" Could have been longer, yes. Needed more upgrades, definitely. But a really enjoyable little title. Absolutely worth picking up.

This is a Pretty Dank little title which I'd love to see games more like: just a short pickup-and-play kinda game that has a fun and interesting twist to the combat. Would Recommend - Bouncy - Satisfying - Rewarding

For all of a dollar, Swordlord did a decent job at being memorable for a rather quick and pleasant time, even after a couple years of having played it and forgot about it, I remember the gameplay and the fights I went through to complete it. Most of the screenshots and videos one may find will tell the story of the gameplay, but to accurately summarize, you spin your weapon at the other guy who also spins his weapon, there's a little bit of swordplay in how one maneuvers their weapon to be able to effectively defeat their opponent, and while it is intriguing, it's also something that won't matter in over an hour or so. The game was quirky, interesting, and above all, cheap, and cost-efficient for the entertainment it provided. Overall, 6/10

mixed on the side of negative. it's a fine time waster, but it's clearly just hardcore to make up for no content. that shop you see is what you get.

Swordlord is a short, sweet, arena battle game with a great soundtrack and fun art design. The concept is simple: swing your weapon into your enemy's face before they swing it into yours. Landing a killing blow after building up enough momentum with your weapon is satisfying, and it doesn't take you long to adjust to the main gameplay mechanic. The bosses are well balanced, and the voice acting is hilarious. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to kill an hour or so with a fun, retro style arena battle game.

I have beat all the characters, with all the weapons. very fun, may play it through one more time. well worth a dollar if you ask me! would love to see more from this game developer! edit: this game will not be further developed and the developers do not check on the discussions thread or do updates... dont get this thinking it will be any more than the initial level. keep in mind though... this game is 99 cents! a plain taco bell taco costs that much!

A great game with ZX Spectrum look, awesome game mechanic, and kickass soundtrack! I just wish there was more content and online multiplayer. Otherwise this is definietly recommended, especsially for the low price.

I played this quite a bit more on itch.io but I wanted to say something about it here. I love this game! It is just a perfect little fighting game, and well worth the humble asking price. There is something very satisfying about swinging your weapon, and feeling it's effect on your movement. When you are able to land a blow, that is something special. I think it feels pretty random at first, but slowly you gain a sense of timing, and for some of the later bosses, you really have to strategize a bit more. I guess it would fall into the easy to play, difficult to master category. Graphics hearken back to the good old 8 bit days, where I spent a lot of my youth.

Yo, this game is tight. Too many health pickups, though, and Tezra don't need that jank. Get some story mode with some badass levels and multiplayer, hell make that shit a rogue-lite or something idgaf, and my g I'll pay way more than one dollar.
