This video really captures what makes Half Sword unique compared to a lot of other gladiator games. The weapons and armour feel real. There aren't hitpoints or stat bonuses, you're only protected where something is protecting you, and one wrong move can lead to bleeding out or losing your limbs. If you fight based on the physics of your weapon you can pull off really precise moves that feel so much more organic than button combos.
