What is Sword Upgrade!

Forge your path through an unending tide of foes in Sword Upgrade! Every slash counts, and every coin brings you closer to an unstoppable blade.

How to Play

Guide your warrior with the mouse or touch controls, slashing through enemies that approach from all sides. Gather the coins they drop to spend on upgrades between waves, choosing between damage, speed, and special abilities.

Tips for Playing

Prioritize area-of-effect upgrades early to handle clusters of enemies efficiently.
Keep moving; enemies often telegraph attacks that are easy to dodge with a steady sidestep.
Save a few coins for a heal upgrade if your health gets low, rather than spending them all on offense.
Experiment with different upgrade paths to find a combo that matches your playstyle.
Focus on upgrading your special attack during boss waves for maximum impact.
