About this game
CrackSword is a 2D sword-fighting roguelite set in a fantasy world that's trying its best to be normal and failing completely. A one-person learning project that got out of hand. Currently in active development — solo roguelite story mode in progress, combat system in active playtesting.
SOLO ROGUE-LITE ADVENTURE
Start broke, leave legendary or don't. Meet the village folk, hunt for swords and magic cards, fight in the arena for gold and glory. And somewhere above it all, a master pulling strings that are starting to feel less like guidance and more like control.
DIRECTIONAL SWORD FIGHTING
A four-way attack system, three sword directions, one kick. Chain feints, bait parries, and make every duel feel like a conversation no one wants to be having.
CRAZY MAGICAL PLAYING CARDS
Build your hand from a deck of sword techniques and magic spells. Find the combinations that feel almost unfair, then manage your power points to actually pull them off.
CLASSIC VERSUS MODE
Pick your puppet. Choose your sword and magic cards. Duel friends in local multiplayer or test your build against AI opponents. Customize the rules until they feel fair. They won't.

CrackSword Open Playtest is Live!
Ahoy!I'm incredibly happy and excited to announce that the CrackSword public playtest is now open.It's been almost 1000 days since I first installed Godot. What started as a small learning project, something to keep my hands and mind busy during a difficult period, slowly became something I never expected. A childhood dream I'd long set aside, quietly resurfacing. I didn't plan any of this. It just grew, empirically, one day at a time healing me.Along the way I got to show the game at events, meet other developers at jams and expos, and end up in situations I never imagined when I first opened the engine. That part alone made the whole thing worth it.As a solo developer I haven't had much external feedback yet, and this playtest is a big step. This version focuses on the Versus mode, playable solo against the AI or locally with two players, while I keep actively working on the solo adventure mode in the background. If you run into bugs, performance issues, or just have thoughts to share, the CrackSword Discord is the place to drop them.I hope you have fun with it. It would mean a lot.SalmonellaSalami ♡Read full article on Community Announcements (SalmonellaSalami)
