About Sword of the Sea

✦ AI summary

Sword of the Sea is an atmospheric surfing adventure where you ride an ancient Hoversword across flowing waves of sand and water to restore a lost ocean and unveil magical secrets. Combining fluid skateboarding-inspired movement with stunning visuals from the creative team behind Journey and ABZÛ, it blends exhilarating action with meditative exploration in a world of spiritual transformation.

Surf across magnificent waves of sand and glistening waters on an epic quest to restore a lost ocean in Sword of the Sea.

From the visionary artist behind ABZÛ, The Pathless, and Journey – Sword of the Sea is an atmospheric surfing adventure with highspeed Hoversword movement inspired by skateboarding and snowboarding.

Awesome Surfing and Tricks

Carve your way forward on the ancient and powerful Hoversword, which moves like a snowboard, skateboard, and surfboard all in one. Build momentum to reach top speed and catch big air off the crests of giant waves. Pull off radical flips, spins, and grab tricks with ease as you shred halfpipes, ramps, and wall rides. It’s the perfect balance of exhilarating action and fluid, meditative movement.

A Mysterious and Visually Stunning World of Waves

Explore a world where the land flows in constant waves. From massive tides to the smallest ripples, the shifting sea of dunes is incredibly detailed and beautifully rendered.

A Spiritual Journey to Unveil the Sea

You are the Wraith – resurrected in the desolate Necropolis on a quest to unveil the ancient sea buried beneath the land. Discover the remnants of a lost culture hidden in sinking tombs and skatepark-like ruins as you search for purpose. Transform sandy dunes into glittering, emerald waters and witness magical sealife return in huge, breathtaking shoals. Feel the spiritual magic of surfing as you connect with nature and restore life – but beware, there is also darkness lurking under the waves.

A Legacy of Art, Design, and Music Continues

Developed by the renowned indie team Giant Squid, Sword of the Sea features the unique artistic design of creative director Matt Nava and beautiful music composed by Grammy winning Austin Wintory. Long time creative partners, their works together include beloved indie games ABZÛ, The Pathless, and the legendary, award-winning game Journey.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's stunning visuals, atmospheric music, and relaxing vibe, comparing it favorably to Journey and Abzu as a beautiful, stress-free experience. However, some criticize the $20 price point as steep for what is essentially a short walking simulator with barebones gameplay, and several report significant optimization issues with poor framerate performance regardless of graphics settings.

Reminds me of the Firebird Suite from Disney's Fantasia 2000!! Love it 🩷 Kinda mad I didn't buy it sooner because it's worth the price and I didn't face any noticeable performance issues. So many pretty visuals, satisfying and speedy movements, and great soundtrack. Beautiful game that gives you feeling of hope and inspiration. Thank you, to the devs, for this wonderful experience 🥰

Emotional and explorative, I cried many times. I played ABZU years ago and have replayed it many times, and THIS game has awoken so much nostalgia. So much beauty has been put into the environment and motions of the characters, paired with the appreciation for life an balance. Hit it out of the park with this one guys, well done.
