Not many games can claim to boast a demo count that's stayed in the thousands for almost a full year, but Half Sword is a special beast. Steam players have been revelling in its brutal, gory take on medieval combat since it first went viral over two years ago, but a major update back in April 2025 saw its popularity explode again. Ever since, the Half Sword tech demo has held onto more than 5,000 active players, making it one of the most consistently popular trial versions on the Valve store. Now, it's finally coming out for real.
