New Demo for Sword Hero Now Available on Steam

Developer ForestWare announced that the Combat Arena demo for Sword Hero is now available on Steam. It gives players the chance to step into the heart of the game which is the visceral directional combat.

Players can try out five unique arena scenarios along with three pre-made characters. They get to experience battles that put focus on precision and consequence as they target limbs to cripple foes, dismembering enemies in gruesome fashion, and watching scars and wounds remain across the fight. Layered onto this system are advanced physics interactions. It's where collapsing trees, spreading fires, and environmental hazards can change the outcome of combat in unexpected ways.

While the demo is limited to arena battles, it provides a focused glimpse of the combat foundation that defines Sword Hero. Here's what players can expect for the demo:

• Choose a Fighter: Put the Warrior, Archer, or Scholar to the test in the Combat Arena.

• Trade Items: Engage in a unique bartering system where players can trade wares from the shop for inventory items and money by balancing the scales

• Equip Weapons and Armor: Raise offense and defense with a variety of armor and weapons.

• Treat Your Wounds: Use items, such as bandages, to treat battle wounds between rounds.

• Use Abilities: With Psi, use abilities in combat for the Scholar class in order to land devastating magical attacks.

• Loot Enemies: Enemies may drop items when they die, which can be equipped or sold between rounds.

• Five Combat Situations: Test skills against five rounds of enemies in ruthless arena battles.

In addition to the release of a demo, the studio also released a new trailer which can be viewed here.

Sword Hero offers a seamless open world that’s full of secrets and stories to tell. It closely follows the style of the cult-classic Gothic series. There are no invisible walls, which means players can go wherever they please right from the start. However, the wilderness of Wes is unkind especially to those who are unprepared. There are beasts such as the Greyskin, Giants, and Dragons. In addition, there are other monstrosities that roam the land.
