The physics-based medieval combat simulator Half Swordwhich has become famous because it is excellent for bringing live on Twitch, YouTube and similar, has finally been launched in Early Access on Steam.
As expected he immediately reached the top of the global rankings of premium titles in a matter of minutes. This, despite having received many negative reviews due to the terrible optimization and for being very poorly refined. At the time of writing this news, only 44% of the more than 715 reviews present are positive.
Ugly, but well sold?
According to the first reviews, we are faced with the classic title cumbersomewhich is selling grace to the long wave of streamers.
However, the first numbers undeniably reward it, considering that within an hour it already has more than 21,000 contemporary players, as reported by SteamDB.
Half Sword, we tried a game that aims to make dismemberment go viral
Returning to the rankings, Half Sword placed just above The Game Bakers’ Cairn, another notable new release from this period.
Now it remains to be seen whether Half Sword will maintain its numbers, becoming a viral hit, or will fall under the weight of criticismproving to be a passing phenomenon. We’ll see.
It must be said that it was launched in Early Access, so it has time to improve based on the feedback received.
