Though Blade & Sword seems a promising title in some fashions, it feels as though the text needs a good chunk of time in editing, and that the game would benefit greatly from slightly sharper graphics, possibly even a bump up in maximum resolution. The setting and plot are intriguing, worth exploring, but ultimately rendered frustrating by the confusion as to what the designers are attempting to convey to the player via garbled English. With a bit of finesse and polish, this title could easily become a much more memorable piece of work, though not likely a true successor to the isometric RPG throne.​
