Steel meets skill in the arena.
Welcome to Half Blade Duel Combat - a physics-based melee combat simulator where timing, positioning, and weapon weight decide the outcome. Master half grips, half-guard transitions, half-step feints, and precise sword control. Every duel is a test of awareness and intention, built on realistic movement and true collision contact. No scripted animations, no button-mash combos - just control, focus, and the steel in your hand.

A grounded take on blade combat
One opponent, one arena, clear reads. You're not solving pattern loops; you're reading posture and reach, finding half-beat windows, then letting the sword do honest work. Commit with structure and inertia completes the cut; miss your line and the sword glances or stalls.

Physics defines the fight
A physical model tracks mass, velocity, and rotational momentum. Weapon weight, direction, and speed shape every interaction; no invisible hit boxes decide for you. Your sword moves with real force, colliding with shields, armor, and bone. Learn sword momentum, refine edge alignment, guide the sword tip, and recover after each strike. Micro-choices - a half-tempo pause, a half-turn pivot, a half-distance check - can swing initiative.

Dual-limb control
Hands are independent. The right carries the blade; the left operates on its own layer for pressure and disruption. Post to break line, parry with the off-hand to buy a half-beat, or frame to create a brief bind that turns a risky entry into a clear sword path. This separation changes cadence, footwork, and the quality of each exchange.

Adaptive AI, not repeating patterns
Opponents vary tempo, guard, and intention. Some bait over-pursuit; others smother at clinch range. A reckless swing meets a structured riposte; a timid probe is chased at half-distance. The goal is sword awareness: read tells, anticipate pivots, and shape the encounter before it shapes you.

Training the essentials
Dueling is the exam; practice is the lesson. Drill half-guard entries for compact lines. Chain half-step feints into delayed cuts to steal initiative. Build recoveries that return the sword to a safe home after a miss. Trim wasted motion and the physics engine returns faster redirection, cleaner edge contact, stronger sword presence.

Progress by mastery
Unlock drills, guard families, and movement options that add nuance without noise. Expand your toolbox with weapons that change leverage and tempo. Light sidearms reward initiative; heavy options demand set-ups and structure. Whatever you carry, the sword remains honest.

Core features

• Leaderboards, match history, and progression that surface timing, distance, and sword efficiency.
• Additional arenas and AI styles, plus scenario drills for half-guard and recovery under pressure.

Built for mobile
Touch input maps to intent - feint, commit, recover - while simulation preserves consequences. Feel the difference between a lazy probe and a committed cut. The sword follows the path you draw, and physics makes that path meaningful.

If you want a mobile experience where every movement matters - where steel reacts like steel, and victory depends on your ability to control, adapt, and strike with purpose - this is your arena. Build sword discipline. Grow sword awareness. Live in the half-beat, own the half-step, and let honest contact decide each exchange.
