Severance.
I found myself enjoying the game more once I disabled the music. Not only is the background music generic (the tracks are just loops of a few seconds worth of droning sounds that get obnoxious fast), but it actually detracts from the environmental sound design, which is quite atmospheric.I wonder if they will use the same generic royalty free music as the original release. I remember Max Payne uses a few of the same songs too.
Doubt the original devs will see a dime off of this rerelease. Glad I got the game while it was still abandonware. The only game that deserves the title "hidden gem"
For some reason, it doesn't let you save,
I tried playing the GoG version I have and it doesn't even start.
Such an awesome game. Just looking at these screens makes me want to replay it.
It's a great game. I'd take it over any of the Souls games any day.Such an awesome game. Just looking at these screens makes me want to replay it.
IIRC, the game released with no copy protection of any type, nor CD-ROM check, it was extremely easy to pirate.It's a real shame the game didn't sold very well at the time

Ultimate Blade of Darkness announced for the Xbox
Rebel Act Studios will bring an enhanced version of its hack-and-slash game to the Microsoft Xbox.

Rebel Act Studios has announced Ultimate Blade of Darkness for the Microsoft Xbox. The company promises that the game will be more than just an updated version of its Blade of Darkness PC game, but naturally the Xbox version will share many of its primary gameplay elements with the original. Enhancements planned for the Xbox version of the game include a new control system, smoother and more fluid animation, improved character graphics, enhanced particle system and bump-mapping, improved load times, a simplified interface, blood on weapons and footprints, 3D positional audio and new sound effects, revised story elements, and a split-screen two-player mode and new multiplayer levels.
At its core, the game is a hack-and-slash action title with specific RPG elements. In the game, players can choose to play as one of four characters--a dwarf, an amazon, a barbarian, or a knight--each with his or her own specific abilities. Additionally, each of these characters has a different story that unfolds as the game progresses.
Ultimate Blade of Darkness will be released by Christmas 2002 for the Microsoft Xbox. Rebel Act Studios further confirmed Blade of Darkness II. No specific platforms were discussed.
