Sword Mans is a physics based sword fighting brawler where you control the sword instead of the swordsman. There is a man holding on to the sword who will flop behind it as it moves. Your goal is to defeat the other players by hitting the man holding onto their sword while defending the man holding on to your sword. This game supports both controllers and mouse and keyboard input.
Versus:

Fight against your friends or the AI in local multiplayer versus mode. Use stage hazards and power-ups scattered across some of the many stages to get the upper hand in a fight.

Co-op:
Play solo or team up with your friends in one of two cooperative game modes.

Arena: Fight endless waves of enemies and earn gold which can be used to buy cosmetics.
Campaign: Play through the campaign chapter by chapter. Chapters will be released periodically and the story will continue with each chapter.

Customize your sword man with a host of different weapons and cosmetics that can be unlocked through game-play. Damage is physics based, meaning heavier weapons will hit harder, but aren't as agile.
Sword Mans features a completely original soundtrack designed to fit the varying stages.
Content will be continually added in periodic updates including new stages, new cosmetics, and new chapters to the campaign.

Update: Gun Mans!

April 2, 2019 Sword Mans version 1.3.0

Happy April Fools! You thought the update was coming yesterday but you were fooled! Haha, yeah that's it (please don't read into it any further). Anyways, Sword Mans has taken a giant leap into the future. Your familiar sword wielding mans will now be wielding guns!
Game Description Image

Tommy Gun: Automatic rifle with a drum magazine.
LMG: A heavy automatic weapon with a laser sight.
Grenade Launcher: Fires an grenade that explodes on impact.
Rocket Launcher: Launches a rocket that travels in a straight line.

New Cosmetics!

Army Helmet: To protect your head from those nasty bullets. This will be available any time you start Sword Mans.
Bulletproof Vest: To do the same for your torso. Also available for everyone.

Adjustments

Explosions now deal damage based on how close you are to the center of the explosion. With explosive weapons in the game, it made sense to reward a more accurate shot. A direct hit will deal devastating damage while a glancing blow will be more survivable.

It's hard to believe that Sword Mans has been out for a whole year. I hope you all have had as much fun playing it as I've had making and continually improving it. Be sure to use the steam community hub if you have any questions or suggestions about Sword Mans.

Thank you all and have fun!
