About the Game

Slash, stab, and shoot your way through a multi-tiered museum filled with corrupted automata, customizing your weapon with the scraps of the fallen. Clockwork Sword is a thrilling isometric hack and slash, in which you utilize combinations of weapons and elements to conquer your foes.



In Clockwork Sword, every part of your weapon can be customized to fit your playstyle.

  • Forms dictate the move set of the weapon and the range at which you fight.
  • Charges apply devastating elemental effects and change the dynamic of combat.
  • Gears add enhancements that allow you to specialize your weapon further.

From flaming spears to life-stealing Gatling guns, the choice is up to you.


The weapon of Clockwork Sword has two sides that each have their own form, element and set of gears. In the heat of combat you can switch between these modes to adapt to whatever you may encounter.
Is it worth having a balance of melee and range or should you double down on on your strengths and brute force any obstacle in your way?


Fighting enemies in Clockwork Sword will build up the pressure gauge on your weapon. When your pressure is full, switching between modes will unleash a massive special attack unique to each form. Time your weapon switches right for massive payoffs.
