Heroes of the Sword offers fast-paced multiplayer combat on Facebook

Javelin Games has challenged players to become master swordsmen in its side-scrolling battle game Heroes of the Sword. Players choose from three character classes, and then take to battle in both single-player and multiplayer modes, defeating enemies using a combination of both keyboard and mouse controls.

The focus of Heroes of the Sword is on multiplayer battles, which are available in three main modes: deathmatch, team deathmatch and capture the flag. In each, players are presented with 2D side-scrolling environments with multiple vertical levels.
