Half Sword
A physics-driven medieval fighting sim built around 15th-century weapons and armour. You duel opponents in first or third person, and every swing, parry and hit is worked out by the physics rather than canned animations. Fights are bloody, clumsy by design and unpredictable, and there is a sandbox side for experimenting. Is it your kind of game?
