About this game
Dive into brutal, skill‑based combat in this hardcore MMO where your skill with your blade is the only thing standing between you and a quick death. Compete to climb an expansive, interconnected, and persistent tower overflowing with monsters, traps, and treasure. Each floor of the tower is a unique hand-crafted dungeon crawl with a variety of different enemies, trials, and traps, as well as the ever-present threat of other players.
Group up with friends or engage as a lone warrior to face off against the dangers of the tower. Compete to traverse massive interconnected dungeons filled with monsters, bosses, traps, and loot. Can you make it to the top?
Swordeye combines a hardcore 6-directional combat system including ripostes, feints, kicks, and combos with persistent massive multiplayer dungeons, loot, abilities, and a skill tree.
As you progress you will unlock skills and abilities, craft potions, upgrade gear and customize your combat style as you strive to gain power and reach the top of the tower.
Use your loot to upgrade your sword and craft new gear. Level up, and unlock powerful new skills and abilities to use against your foes.

Next Playtest Starts 07-23-2026
The next playtest will start at 1pm Pacific on 07-23-2026 and will run through 07-27-2026. This playtest features a new 1v1 tournament event, a queue for ranked duels, 1-handed weapons and shields, and much more. The tournament consists of a group stage where you are put in a group of similar elo players. Group winners then compete in a bracket stage which will contain players of all elos. In addition, I've made improvements to the animations and visuals, see an example clip here: I've also been working hard on some really cool new QoL stuff including new 3rd person camera options and auto positioning of your third person cursor. A demo video is here: I'm psyched to play with everyone, see you soon.Read full article on Community Announcements (castavernas)AnnouncementsOfficial
The Playtest Starts Today!
This playtest will run from 1pm Pacific on 05-21-2025 through 05-25-2025. It features major additions to the game including a massive expansion to the T1 dungeon, a new boss, a party system, a revive system, helmets and of course the Great Hunt world event. The Othari Raid will run every 4 hours starting at 3pm Pacific and the Great Hunt will run one hour later. Details on the major changes are in the video below: For this playtest, the early game content reorganized so that new players go to the T1 dungeon first rather than the open world. This is how I intend the demo to be so I'm testing out that flow. It should also make for some fun and chaotic fights in T1. Can't wait to play with you all, see you in game!Read full article on Community Announcements (castavernas)AnnouncementsOfficial
Next Playtest Starts on 05-21-2026
The next playtest will start at 1pm Pacific on 05-21-2026 and will run through 05-25-2026. This playtest features a massive expansion to the T1 dungeon, a new boss, helmets, a party system, combat tweaks, visual improvements and much more. A preview of a portion of one of the new dungeon areas is below The new boss spawns every hour on the hour and has no portals nearby so you have to work your way down to him, kill him and make your way back out to extract. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44601843/ce411787696083a440ddd94b93f1794bab9bd5f6.jpg To really stress test the new content, this playtest will also have the starting quest line adjusted to send new players straight into the tier 1 dungeon, rather than having them go through the open world first. However, the open world will still be available and the Othari Raid (which has been significantly optimized) will run every 4 hours like last time. I'm psyched to play with everyone, see you soon.Read full article on Community Announcements (castavernas)AnnouncementsOfficial
