—Players control a knight aspiring to become a Swordmaster. In the Sword Sanctuary, face and defeat various powerful opponents, and finally challenge the Sword Saint to claim victory.
Sword Sanctuary is a side-scrolling hardcore game focused on parrying.
Players can control a knight.
The knight came to the sanctuary of the sword connected to the world of characters with various weapons and skills to become a Swordmaster.
Defeat them all to earn the right to challenge the Sword Saint.
Overcome every opponent and claim the title of Swordmaster.
Players can move, evade, defend, attack, and counter slash.
If you defend at the exact moment the enemy's attack lands, it triggers a parry, which damages the enemy and partially recovers your own health.
Attacks deal less damage than parrying but can provoke enemy defenses and restrict their actions.
