Swordship

Brisk, stylish and compulsive, this is everything an arcade game should be.

Swordship is touted as a “dodge-em-up”, which is like a shmup, only there are lots (and lots) of things you need to dodge. This time, everything is shooting at you, not the other way around. Shall we "dive" in?Read More

Overall, Swordship is a fun and interesting arcade title that flips the genre on its head. Its high intensity dodge ‘em and puzzle-style action creates a fun gameplay loop. The addition of upgrades and difficulty changes adds to the title’s replayability and while the game is somewhat difficult and lacking in accessibility features, the game still manages to be an exceptional example of arcade-like brilliance.

Swapping out shooting for dodging, Swordship is a clever score-attack arcade indie title that’s as mechanically solid as it is visually striking.

Still, if you love arcade-styled games that challenge your skills and draw you in time and time again in order to set a new high-score, Swordship is very much worth playing. It’s a simple concept but one that’s been executed rather well. And it is somewhat fun outwitting your enemies and making them destroy each other as you vie to collect valuable cargo.
