The swords are indeed massive and there's a surprising amount of platforming goodness to be had, but problematic controls sour the experience.

Critic reviews
- 4.0With all the wonderful visuals and solid action in this platformer, it is downright heartbreaking that the controls are an absolute mess. The poorest analogy I can make is it's like finding your perfect mate, only to discover that they're a figment of your imagination.
- 8.0Heavy Sword doesn't reinvent the platforming wheel, but takes a lot of ideas from good games in the genre to make an enjoyable experience.
- 5.0It's a shame, because there's a lot to like about HEAVY-sword. The dev might unashamedly make its starting point Mario's super-worlds, but it does try to branch out on its own. With a little more polish, it might have made it, too.
