Tags: Blade and SwordGamer's Hell has posted up another PROFESHUNAL REEVIEW of a game, this time being Blade and Sword. They didn't like it much and it ends up getting a rather low 6.5/10. Here's a sample:
The crux of the matter is always ‘was the game fun’? What we have here is an average imitation of some seminal hack and slash RPG games from the days of yore. Heck, the parts that it does imitate are still outdone by older titles. Those classic games had a more robust and flexible RPG system and they probably possessed better enemy AI, so why is it that I can’t turn this game off? It’s because of the innovative combo system and the number of excellent special attacks that you’ll accrue throughout the games’ three chapters and 40 levels.
There's a really funny theme throughout this piece where they keep refering to this title as old school through the whole thing. Maybe I'm just old, but I don't think anything that's similar to Diablo is old school. Then again, we're talking about Gamer's Hell here.
