## What is Draw Duel?

En Guarde! Time to test your dexterity in skills in the action packed dueling game. You control the sword with your fingertips. Every swipe, slice and stab is based off of your movement. It’s like having a joystick on your phone. Drawing an item and watching it perform next on the screen is old news. This is the next generation of action packed drawing games.

Can you defeat your opponent in the duel? Parry, block, and dance - do whatever it takes to avoid contact. Then you take action and launch your attack! No one can avoid your swift furry. The faster you can move your sword around the more likely you will land a hit! The controls are so smooth you will think you are sword fighting yourself… without the danger!

The pen is finally mightier than the sword. Can you rise to the top and defeat everyone?


 
 Game Features:
1.       Simple but addicting mechanics
Draw in the open space and watch the sword mimic your movement. It’s that simple

2.       Amazing Physics
It’s like you are controlling the sword yourself. Sword fighting has never felt more realistic

3.       Keep on upgrading!
So many different styles and swords to unlock. Can you become a samurai? 

4.       Relax and enjoy
No need to put yourself in danger. Take some swings from your phone. You are in complete control.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-02, version 1.3.0*

I keep respawning at the very start and you always have to be in a 3v1 like what am I supposed to do

### 4/5 — NERF THE BEES

*2026-05-12, version 1.3.0*

Compared to the other enemies in the game like the bats, these guys hardly give you any space and will corner you to a wall and you will take inf high amount of dmg unless you can kill them first. But level 19 is just straight up impossible.

### 1/5 — Aggressive Ads

*2026-03-17, version 1.3.0*

This is quite possibly the most aggressive use of forced ads I’ve ever seen. Immediately uninstalled.

### 1/5 — Overall good game, too many ads

*2025-06-28, version 1.3.0*

This is a very fun game, however, the ads clog the gameplay and then you pretty much get 75% ads and 25% gameplay. The game is fun, but if you want to increase your level of gameplay, don’t download this game.

### 3/5 — 敵，弱！

*2025-06-08, version 1.3.0*

剣と剣をぶつけるとダメージが入る能力1個以上とダメージ受けると確率で剣落とす能力20個くらい取ると，剣と剣が1回でも当たると40くらいダメージが入って剣を落とすから戦いにならない　pvpでも落とす 
 super weaponはダメージが2倍になるが、使わなくても余裕　広告をみることにもなる 
 ハチ🐝は少し強いが、ダメージ150強以上あれば大丈夫 
 改善点 
武器によってダメージを変えるべき 
super weaponをもっと強くするべき 
リーチの差を分かりやすくするべき 
もう少し武器を落とさないようにするべき 
倒した時の血飛沫を無くすべき 
grow weaponは広告無しで取れるべき 
以上 長文失礼致しました。能力は程よく取るように！

追記
grow weaponを取りすぎると、近くの敵にダメージが入らなくなります
運営さん、普通なら近くにもダメージ入るようにしますよね？
改善お願いします

### 5/5 — It is ok

*2025-02-23, version 1.3.0*

Good game

### 1/5 — 광고 지우기 결재했는데 광고나와요..

*2024-10-19, version 1.3.0*

광고 지우기ㅠ결재했는데 광고나옵니다..
돌려주세요..

### 5/5 — I love sword fighting games ((pause

*2024-09-30, version 1.3.0*

I like the games mechanic because it lets u be creative

### 1/5 — Why…

*2024-01-11, version 1.2.0*

I hate how this game starts you at the 1st chapter when you die like why does it do that I don’t like it.

### 1/5 — THE ADS!

*2023-06-27, version 1.2.0*

OMG the ads are CRAZY 1 second and a ad shows up FIX THE GAMEEE!
