About Ragdoll Swordsman
Ragdoll Swordsman is a physics action game. Instead of pressing a button to play a canned attack, you guide the weapon directly: hold the mouse or drag a finger and the blade goes where your hand goes. Your fighter is a ragdoll and so are the mannequin enemies, which reel, drop, shed limbs and can keep coming at a crawl. Because the physics decides the outcome, fights rarely play out the same way twice.
The adventure runs for 30 levels across 7 worlds, including a forest glade, a swamp, a canyon, a pirate cove, a snowy pass, a volcanic forge, a candy land and the roof of a skyscraper. A boss waits at the end of every world, among them a Gorilla, a Stone Golem, a pirate called Captain Kaboom and, at the end, the Ragdoll King. Giant titans also appear, stomping, jumping and grabbing you to throw. After level 30 a harder round starts. There are more than 30 weapons in five rarity tiers, from katanas, axes and chainsaws to laser swords and a handful of guns.
It is published through Playgama, and the game is built for a landscape screen. It suits players who like slapstick physics combat and experimenting with traps. The dismemberment is of mannequins, but it is still a rough game, so it is a better fit for older players.

How to play Ragdoll Swordsman
Swing a blade by hand in a physics fighting game where you control a ragdoll and every enemy reacts to exactly where it was hit.
Hold the mouse button, or drag a finger on a touchscreen, and move it. The blade follows your hand.
Slash and stab at the mannequin enemies, and use the blade to parry their attacks.
Use the level against them. Kick enemies onto spikes and saws, or pick them up and toss them into lava, acid, water or a chasm.
Trigger traps when a group lines up: cut a rope to release a swinging log, or kick a lever to drop a crusher.
Clear the adventure levels world by world and beat the boss that closes each one.
Tips and strategy
- Trap kills count as tricks and add to your combo and coin bonus, so look for the trap before you start swinging.
- A downed enemy is not always finished. Mannequins can keep crawling after losing limbs, so check behind you.
- Against the Stone Golem, look for its weak spot instead of hitting it anywhere, and deal with the stone fighters that arrive in waves.
- Go for a titan's legs. Cutting them off brings it down to crawling on its hands.
- Make wide, deliberate movements. Since the blade copies your hand, small jittery motions produce weak hits.
