There are barely any games, where you get to play as one. And in the shitty RPGs, where a Spellsword is just one option among many, the developers often ruin the class, because they inherited the need to balance hybrid classes as always weaker in anything a pure class does from tabletop games.

No! I am a Spellsword! I am the pinnacle of combat prowess. Just as good in melee as a martial, knows everything about spellcraft to fuck with mages and neutralize their magic AND instead of using a bow and arrow, I can flick my hand to throw fireballs, WHICH DO REAL DAMAGE and aren't overpriced garbage, because I am not a "pure mage". And of course I buff myself with all manner of spells to be the best duelist possible. Impossible to lose a 1v1.

None of the games get that right. They always try to reinvent the wheel. They give you a magical bow and arrow. They try to give you a shield, instead of giving you teh ability to relflect projectiles with a flick of the wrist. They don't add any viable ranged options for you. Mage armor is shitty, because it's balanced around pure mages. It's time us Spellsword chads got a true game, where we are the intended way to play the game!

There's quite a few actually.

Witchers aren't Spellswords. They rely on potions too much and don't know enough buffs.

B&S is peak spellsword power fantasy. Or if you want to crunch autistic numbers, Elona and Elin let you do everything to the full potential you can train yourself to.
