People searching for games like Ragdoll Wars usually want either more ragdoll physics or another military sandbox. These six are the ones with a public page I could compare on 10 Nov 2026.
Ragdoll Wars itself is a blue-versus-red commander sandbox: NPC squads, tanks, helicopters, and cover. A lookalike has to miss on purpose. I kept visit counts as that day’s reading.
The 2026 Ragdoll Playground by Speedwagon Gaming Foundation is the closest traffic neighbor: 22,862,427 visits and 8,867 playing, six-player, 2D, with codes RELEASE, 10MVISITS, and CUSTOM. You grab and throw characters. Those codes belong to Playground. They are not Ragdoll Wars codes.
A second Ragdoll Playground, by Ragdollian Studio, is a 2025 beta: 642,731 visits, 0 playing, 20-player. Ragdoll Engine’s current public place is by the mr_beanGuy group, created 14 Jul 2026, 116,448 visits, 0 playing, 50-player, and the description says press R to ragdoll. I do not treat that page as the 2018 original.
Slap Battles is glove PvP: 3,690,172,000 visits, 3,508 playing, 16-player. Half Sword on Steam is a single-player medieval physics fighter, US $24.99, Windows only, Early Access since 30 Jan 2026, as listed on the US store. Ragdoll Hit on Android and Windows shows 5,000,000+ downloads, ads and purchases, and offline stickman fights.

Questions
Which one is free on Roblox?
Playground, Engine, and Slap Battles are Roblox experiences. Half Sword is a paid Steam game.
Can I use Playground codes here?
No. RELEASE, 10MVISITS, and CUSTOM are documented on Ragdoll Playground, not on Ragdoll Wars.
