About the Game

Swordlord is a brutal 2d action game based on the art style of 80's games. Enjoy the simple but unique physics mechanic of swinging your weapon around your body as both an offensive and defensive tool. Players can buy weapons and armor to survive and destroy the increasingly deadly waves of gladiators thrown at them. Slay your way to the Duke of War, and earn your freedom!
