Featured Sword Games
This page is called Featured rather than Popular because the site has no way to measure popularity. What follows is an editorial selection, plus your own most-played games once your browser has something to show.
How this page is put together
Sword Arcade is a static site with no accounts and no server-side storage, so it has no way to know how many people play a game. Rather than invent a number, this page does two things: it shows an editorially selected list, and - once you have played a few games - it shows your own most-played titles, counted in your browser and never transmitted anywhere.
No figure on this page represents global popularity, and none is presented as if it did.
Your most played
Counted in this browser only. Clearing site data resets it.
Editor's picks
Chosen for variety across the six categories, not by popularity.
Blade Clash
Best of five at speed. Attack into an attack and the blades clash instead of connecting.
Shadow Sword
One large opponent with four attacks and four tells. It never improvises - but it never slows down either.
Blade Rush
Enemies come at you along two heights. Cut each one as it enters your reach - not before.
Blade Survivor
Waves in a closed arena. Keep moving, string the crowd into a line, and cut the front of it.
Sword Runner
Three obstacle types, one rule about colour, and a speed that never stops climbing.
Samurai Dash
An obstacle course strewn with coins. Most of the coins are a trap.
Pixel Sword Quest
Three hand-built levels with a key to find and a door to open. Most fights are optional.
Castle Blade Defense
Hold a gate against a march. The enemy in front of you is not the one that matters.
Sword Storm
You cannot move. Eight directions, one facing, and three attackers at once.
Neon Blade
Your blade only cuts while you are dashing. Line them up and go through all of them.
Dungeon Blade
Twelve rooms, one key, one exit. Which rooms you enter is entirely up to you.
Ultimate Sword Arcade
Three acts of waves, bonus rounds and original bosses. Everything the library teaches, and all of it needed.
Blade Reflex
A target appears without warning. Your reaction is measured in milliseconds and reported honestly.
One-Tap Sword
One button, one strike zone. Tap when something is inside it, and not before.
