In the game, you can go into dungeons and battle against bosses, but sometimes, you want a fight that\u2019s a little more personal. A fight where you have an intelligent opponent who understands what you\u2019re doing and plan accordingly. A fight where you can trade words as well as blows. In other words, sometimes you want to match wits with another human being. Well, Sword Girls has what you need.<\/p>\n<p>Facing off against another human being is an intimidating prospect to some, but Sword Girls has a matchmaking system to ensure exciting and evenly-matched fights. When you face a random opponent, there\u2019s no chance that you\u2019ll be instantly crushed by someone with a Deck far more powerful than yours. Every card has a Point rating that rates its power. When you build a Deck, the total Deck Points are used to determine who you\u2019ll face in combat. What this means is that whenever you fight another player, you\u2019ll always face someone with a deck about as strong as your own. If you do happen to lose, you can see what cards your opponent used to win and you\u2019ll have some new ideas about how to improve your own deck. There\u2019s nothing more exciting than realizing how to make a good thing even better.<\/p>\n<p>At launch, Sword Girls will have two modes where players can test their skills against other players: Fight mode and Practice mode. In Fight mode, you\u2019ll be matched against a random evenly-matched opponent. These fights may be tougher than the ones you\u2019re used to, but after every Fight game, you\u2019ll get special Accessories that you can use to craft new cards. No one leaves a fight empty-handed. You\u2019ll get Accessories even if you lose, but the winner will get more, so fight with all you\u2019ve got!<\/p>\n<p>In Practice mode, you can set up your own matches and fight anyone you like. You can play against your friends, organize your own tournaments, and loads more. Games played in Practice mode don\u2019t count as games played or won, so you can feel free to experiment with bold new strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Challenge your friends in the exclusive Sword Girls closed beta and prove you\u2019re the best.
