Overview
Sword Mans is a unique physics-based brawler where the sword, not the swordsman, is the primary focus. Players control a sword with a hapless individual clinging to it, flopping around as the weapon moves. The core objective is to defeat opponents by striking the person holding their sword, while simultaneously defending your own swordsman.
Highlights
- Physics-Based Combat: Experience a novel combat system where you directly manipulate the sword, leading to unpredictable and often hilarious outcomes.
- Multiplayer Mayhem: Engage in local multiplayer versus matches against friends or AI, utilizing environmental hazards and power-ups across various stages.
- Cooperative Challenges: Team up with friends in two distinct co-op modes, including an Arena mode for endless PvE action, or brave the challenges solo.
