Scythe
Strategy game title
A scythe is a tool for cutting grass or grain, consisting of a long curved blade attached to a bent wooden handle.
The user swings it in a sweeping motion close to the ground while standing upright.
Before mechanized farming, the scythe was essential for harvesting crops.
The Grim Reaper is traditionally depicted carrying a scythe, symbolizing death's harvest of souls.
To scythe is to cut with such a tool or to move through something with similar sweeping force.
