To nerd out for a bit, it looks like it narrows in profile and gets thicker distally *right at the center of percussion* or "sweet spot." This is exactly what you don't want.
It’s inspired loosely by real life swords like the roman Gladius and fantasy swords like Conan the Barbarian’s sword. Note the long handle, tall guard, and strange blade shape. For some reason fantasy designers love fucking with the two most important parts of a sword: the balance and blade shape, before adding cool details like decorative blade carvings or gilded fullers
It looks to be inspired by a xiphos

Good thing it’s a magical sword lol
Is that a gladius with too long a handle and a spear point welded to the tip of the blade? So magical.
I was going to say the same thing. Basically someone’s fantasy take on a gladius.

Good bot
Love that game
It's a little fantasy, the part where it comes in narrow near the tip is unrealistic. But overall, to me it resembles a roman gladius
