SWORDHEAD
A downloadable game for Windows
No head, a sword instead ! i could have named it inst-head !
So you headbutt people to death. That is the game.
Then you take the sword off and put a shark there. Or a frying pan. Or a vacuum cleaner.
Grab a controller and someone to fight
Full controller support, for both players. Two pads, or a pad against a keyboard, or two people sharing one keyboard. Plug a controller in halfway through a round and it just joins in.
It knows whether you brought an Xbox pad or a PlayStation pad, and the button prompts use your names for them. Your controller rumbles when you land a hit. Every key and button can be rebound without leaving the fight, and there is no settings page hiding outside the game.
Six ways to hurt each other: slash, heavy, skewer, shell, rhino, drill.
Run someone through and they are stuck on your head. They have to mash their way off the blade while you carry them around. It is the best thing in the game and it happens in the first thirty seconds.
36 fighters, and you build them
Any head on any legs. Four animals and two kitchen appliances up top, six sets of legs below.
A lion's head on flamingo legs. A frying pan on a shark tail. A vacuum cleaner walking around on poodle paws.
They do not just look different, they fight different. The legs decide how you move: a lion on all fours is low and fast, flamingo stilts are tall and slow, a shark tail flops. The head decides your reach.
And every combination names itself. Lion plus flamingo is LEOMINGO. Vacuum plus poodle is VACOODLE. Put an animal back on its own legs and it just becomes the normal animal again, which nobody planned and everybody laughs at.
What Early Access means here
Six heads and six sets of legs is the start. Every update adds more parts, and the stupidest ones go in first.
You are not pre-ordering a promise. This is the cheapest it will ever be, and buying it now is what pays for the next batch of heads.
The free demo
The demo is the two sword knights and unlimited fights. No timer, no counter, nothing that runs out. Early Access is what unlocks building your own fighters.
What you need
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. That is the whole list.
It is one ZIP. Unzip it, click the EXE, play. Nothing to install, no launcher, no account, no runtime to go and fetch, and no waiting on a loading bar: the game is up the second you click it.
Any graphics card from the last few years will run it. If yours cannot, the game tells you on the first screen instead of crashing.
