## What is Holy Sword Survival?

Xiamen International Animation and Manga Festival Game Contest 2019 "Best Game Plan Award" Winner
A survival roguelike where you create the strongest sword and survive on a deserted island

■■■Game Introduction
The protagonist wakes up on a deserted island with no memory.
The only way to survive on this island is to forge swords, defeat animals, and eat them.

Create the strongest sword you can and survive on this deserted island!

If you're not familiar with the game, you'll probably collapse from hunger.
This is the kind of game where you can strengthen your sword endlessly while surviving.

In order to make your sword stronger efficiently, you need to synthesize materials while considering the mechanisms of [Level] and [Color Points].
In addition, the holy swords you create will remain on the island and can be used as materials for the next generation of castaways to create their own holy swords.

The next generation of castaways will be able to use the holy swords they create to create their own.


Detailed explanation
Holy Sword Survival is a survival roguelike game where you continue to synthesize items and strengthen your sword while surviving.
The main character, who has lost his memory, survives on the island where he washed up by training his sword, defeating beasts, and eating meat.

In order to make a strong sword, you need to live long enough to collect many items.
In order to do so, you have to make a strong sword and kill a lot of animals.

The abilities of the holy swords include attack power and attack speed, as well as attack range and knockback.
Develop your abilities to your liking and create the strongest holy sword you can!

Once you've created your holy sword, it's time to inscribe its story.
Once you've created your holy sword, you'll be able to carve out its story by stringing together random words.

When synthesizing items, you can make them stronger more efficiently by being aware of the color point factor.
Color points also affect the appearance of the holy sword, so be aware of this when creating your favorite color sword.

As the days go by, the beasts become more and more ferocious, and it becomes more and more difficult for them to live long.
It is important not only to eat meat right away, but also to prepare a stockpile of meat in advance.

Also, when you get hungry and have nothing to eat, use mushrooms to attract enemies and hunt them down.
Hunt them down and eat them.


How strong will you be able to make your holy sword?

### 2/5 — 自由度はないが発展性はある

*2026-05-26*

自分が少し期待しすぎてたっていうのもあると思うんですが。
そもそも剣を作るゲームなんだとしたら、作れる種類が少なすぎる。
もっと剣がそれぞれの能力を持っているとか、やりようはたくさんある気がします。

### 4/5 — 時間がある時にハマりたい

*2024-10-20*

最近見つけてやってみました。システムがシンプルながら、いい感じに縛られていて気づいたら2時間とか平気でハマってます。
本当は仕事の合間とかでやりたいのですが、中断セーブが日数更新のタイミングでしかされないのでふとした時に画面を閉じたり、電池が切れたりするとデータが消えてしまいます。
先日もせっかく育てた剣たちが、石碑に記録することもできないまま消えてしまったので、今更改善なんてされないかもしれませんが、もし改善してもらえるなら、インベントリを開いたタイミングや聖剣台を使ったタイミングでオートセーブがかかるようにしてもらえたらさらに良くなるかなと思いました。
その点で星4です。
まだまだやり込みたいと思います。

### 1/5 — 評価高い理由が分からない程酷い

*2024-04-12*

5分プレイして分かる酷い出来とつまらなさのゲーム。昼夜の切り替え速度が早すぎてハクスラも何もあったもんじゃないです。何をさせたいのかまったくもって謎。やる価値のないゲーム

### 1/5 — Was not impressed

*2021-07-02, version 2.93*

Was broken and the language settings is also totally broken. Sometimes it will switch you to another language for no reason and there is no way to change it. The gameplay is also very bad as it takes a very long time to merge stuff and stuff breaks when you use the random merges and the bulk merges

### 5/5 — 楽しい

*2021-04-21*

以前、実験島をやっておもしろかったので、似たようなゲームはないかと探して見つけました。
始めは進め方がイマイチ分からなかったけど、何度か死んだらだんだん分かるようになりました。何本も剣を掛け合わせて、大型の動物を仕留めれるようになるとハマります。

### 5/5 — Pretty fun for a bit

*2021-03-24, version 2.92*

Was an entertaining game i played it for a few hours straight and eventually after getting a good understanding of the game i’ve found that 250-300 is the max i can get in sword points any higher would be too hard for me so i think this game is pretty cool other than that the repetitiveness gets a little old fast would recommend playing this at least once

### 2/5 — 腹減りが早い

*2020-12-31*

4秒で一回に腹が減る
正直腹が減るのが早すぎて面白みが薄れていた
剣などのクオリティは高くてすごいなとは思ったし
その他諸々いいところはたくさんあった
1、操作性に複雑なことがなかった
2、剣のクオリティが高い
3、モンスターによってレベルがついていて面白味がある
などです
このようにいい点がたくさんあるのに
腹減りが早いせいでかなり面白味が薄れている
なのでここを修正して欲しい

### 5/5 — This game deserves more love

*2020-07-23, version 2.92*

Well made and genuinely fun. I'm picky with the IOS games i keep around but this one will definitely stay. Looking forward to seeing more from this game and the developer.

### 2/5 — Not good

*2020-06-01, version 2.92*

Very confusing

### 1/5 — 面白くない

*2020-05-06*

1時間だけプレイ
操作性悪いし、何が目的かよくわからない
皆んなが言うように昼間の時間が短いので探索する時間がなくつまらない
容量の無駄なのでアプリ消しました！
