Is Sword Bros worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Groups of 2–4 players looking for head-to-head sword fights
- Players who enjoy timing swings and adjusting their grip to counter attacks
- Competitive players who want matches with adjustable combat rules
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a story campaign or exploration, rather than player-versus-player sword matches
- Players who prefer forgiving combat may hit a wall when opponents defend with grip-adjusted deflections and guarded attacks
- Solo players, since the described matches are for 2–4 players
Our take on Sword Bros
Players who expect a solo campaign may bounce as soon as they reach the core match format: Sword Bros is built around 2–4-player sword fights, with no solo mode described. Those who struggle with timing may also hit a wall when opponents deflect swings or hold a guard that requires longer attacks to break.
What is Sword Bros?
Sword Bros is a physics-based sword fighting game for 2–4 players.
Move with the left stick, swing a sword with the right stick, jump with the bumpers, and throw with the triggers. Change grip angle to deflect attacks, or make longer swings to break an opponent’s guard. Players can take high ground or rush in early. Match modifiers change the rules: Razor’s Edge makes matches quick, Slow Motion emphasizes timing and swordplay, Replenishing Shields let opponents recharge, and MEGASWORD enlarges the sword. The vendor presents it as suited to quick multiplayer sessions as well as competitive play.
