The japanese have the Nagamaki which is essentially a croosbreed between a halberd and a katana, imagine a pole with a katana on top (handles more like a large katana than a polearm as far as I know), also the Nodachi but it's basically the katana-category Washing Pole. While not a curved sword, the Indian Rajput's Khanda is a two-handed straight sword that handles more like the curved greatswords do in Dark Souls.
