Can you swing swords?

[Carne Padre]

Hi I was wondering if you can swing the sword. I can throw the tomatos but i just picked up the first viking sword and can't use it.

I am wondering the same thing. I attack enemies but the sword does not swing. Maybe this game focuses more on ramming into enemies like in the game Deformers? Some weapons are ranged, others close but most cannot swing...I wish they did but it seems like they don't, not at all.

Yea i don't mind the ramming, but was hoping the swords would be usable. They look pretty cool.

Pressing X on controller uses the weapons for me! Not sure what it is on KBM

Hey, some of the weapons (the ones marked with a star) can be used by pressing X, one of those weapons is katana which you can swing around, there are also other weapons (like fire sword) which activate automatically when you hit your enemies

Thank you! I guess the one I have doesn't have the star. The tomatos have that action circle at the bottom!. Love the game btw! I have always wanted to be a ball rolling around. Ill look for the Katana as well!

I thought the star was that it had some sort of effect or ability like fire, fly, lightning, grim reaper effect etc. It was driving me nuts trying to figure out the affect/ability of some of those star things.

What an absolute BIZARRE gaming decision, why collect Axe's & Swords but you can't swing them, you have to just dash, is that it? You dash with the Axe and it has a cool down but doesn't swing or hit. You can throw tomatoes but can't hit or swing a weapon, Am I missing something? You can only swing certain weapons? WTF!

This is just not true. I got the viking axe and mjölnir (both are marked with the star) and you can't swing them. They only activate when you ram into an enemy, which is fine but maybe make that clearer cause it's not intuitive at all.
Other than that, the game IS very intuitive and fun!
