Cute art, interesting puzzels, worth to mention that this game was made by one person2 found this helpful
The one Sword is an unique experience for better and worse. Combat requires getting used to but the charm of the story makes it a breeze2 found this helpful
Awesome idea, great arcade movement - perfect for couch with a gamepad.2 found this helpful
A solid metroidvania divided into digestible chunks. There are well thought-out levels, intriguing story with bits of lore sprinkled throughout the world and writing that's actually amusing, which is something I'm unreasonably sensitive about. The combat is physics-based mayhem that will often leave you frustrated and giggling like a maniac at the same time.2 found this helpful
Easy to get hard to master, innovative movement. I'm really satisfied how the game fulfilled fantasy of being a sword. Catchy light-headed narrative with a bit of dark humour. Well-thought progression. I had to lower mouse sensitivity to gain any control over the sword.2 found this helpful
Very solid game which looks very polished. The gameplay may be a bit hard at the beginning (using mouse), but during play you can learn how to move and then how to attack enemies. Map design is good and placement of objects is reasonable and lack of minimap enjoyed me to explore levels. Design and artstyle looks good and it's very pleasant. About the music this is okay, nothing special but neither disturbing. Story may be a bit worse (or less good) part, but in my opinion it was done correctly. Summarizing, the strongest part is obviously gameplay and fight with enemies (I haven't had occasion to test harder mode but I assume it will be even better).2 found this helpful
