About Sword Hero
Sword Hero A seamless open world, full of secrets and stories to tell, closely following the style of the cult-classic Gothic series. No invisible walls - you go wherever you please right from the beginning! Just watch out - The wilderness of Wes is unkind to the unprepared, with beasts such as the Greyskin, Giants, Dragons and other monstrosities roaming the land, in a strictly non-level-scaling fashion. Watch as the enemies that obliterate you at the beginning of the game will run screaming at the sight of you once you become powerful enough. Explore the Island of Wes, forging yourself from a no-one to a respected member of one of the 3 Factions - or carve your own bloody path. No invincible NPCs will tell you who you can become. A truly interactive open-world RPG, packed with dozens of dynamic systems like dangerous weather types, NPCs with daily routines and memories, a robust crime and reputation system, limb-based directional combat, and many more. Become a well-known Hero, a feared Villain or anything in-between. Key Features: Seamless Open World: Explore a vast open world, offering freedom from the start with organic obstacles - No invisible walls here. Dynamic Systems: Day-night cycle, NPC routines, Crime, and Faction skirmishes. Body Parts Damage: Dismember enemies during combat for visceral battles - Exploit their weak points or even get special items by targeting specific bodyparts. Housing: Purchase Businesses and Houses - Rent them out or furnish them as your own. Colossal Creatures: Confront massive foes in epic battles. Persistent World: Simulated Wounds, infections, decapitation, burning vegetation - Corpses that don't disappear, but rather nature takes its course. Character Progression: Stats visibly change your character - Get more muscular as your Strength grows, receive permanent scars, replace your limbs with powerful Prostethics, get magical Tatoos and more. Non-Level Scaling Enemies: Every enemy including Monsters are organic parts of the ecosystem - A Wolf at the beginning of the game won't magically become a bullet-sponge by the end. Living World: Immerse yourself in a dynamic world where NPCs shape the landscape even when you're not looking. Join a Faction: Factions provide precious gear and resources you wouldn't otherwise be able to obtain - Become respected and you will rise through their ranks. An epic Story that spans across 6 Chapters, with some heavily branching choices.
