How to Play: Computer: move with WASD, look with the mouse, hit with the left click (or press E next to a dummy or a wall to auto-hit), jump with SPACE. Keys 1 to 5 open the Armory, Wardrobe, Worlds, Rebirth and Arena; O opens options, TAB the leaderboard and G makes you dance. In the Arena, move the mouse to a side and click to slash there: short click for quick, hold for heavy, right click to block. Phone and tablet (landscape): move with the stick on the left, drag to look, and use the HIT, JUMP and USE buttons; the side buttons open each shop. In the Arena: left and right slash buttons, BLOCK and JUMP. Goal: gain strength, smash every wall, open the six worlds and win the Arena.

Sword Smash is a strength simulator in a busy online-style lobby. Hit training dummies to gain strength with every swing, then walk into the wall lane and smash wall after wall: the stronger you are, the faster they break and the more gold you get. Spend gold on better weapons, from a wooden sword to a katana and a giant claymore, and trophies on new armor tiers. Put on fire, ice or lightning auras, rebirth for a bigger multiplier and travel through six worlds: Castle, Rome, Samurai, Pirates, Desert and Vikings. When you feel ready, enter the Arena and fight waves of warriors in first person, slashing left and right and blocking their hits.
