Half Helm: Ragdoll Duels

Half Helm brings sword fighting and ragdoll physics to a medieval arena. Choose your equipment, face armed rivals and work your way through the campaign. Each encounter is a chance to improve your timing and try a different approach.

MAKE YOUR OPENING
Half a second can change a fight. Watch your opponent, judge the distance and commit to your next strike. Sword combat rewards attention to reach and position as you move into range.

PREPARE FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE
Preparation is only half the challenge. Take your chosen equipment into battle and put it to the test against the next opponent. Experiment with a different weapon or shield when your current approach falls short.

FIND YOUR FIGHTING STYLE
In Half Helm, you can choose a sword or an axe, equip a shield and upgrade your gear. Spend earned rewards on improvements as you develop your fighter and progress toward tougher encounters.

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
Ragdoll physics adds unpredictable movement to close combat. Collisions, hits and falls can turn an orderly exchange into a scramble. Stay ready to react when a clash changes the distance between you and your rival.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD
Face campaign opponents and take on bosses. Return to the arena with upgraded equipment, test another loadout and build on what you learned from the last encounter.

Draw your sword and face the next challenge in Half Helm.
