Blade Warrior description
The striking game in the mysterious dark world, about which almost nothing is known.
Title Screen Map of the world. Inventory screen.
We know only that in this world there is an evil being by the name of Murka, which rules and which gave the world eternal darkness. To defeat him, you need to collect seven pieces of a powerful artifact. These pieces are in seven wizards living in different parts of the world, and few of them find – for some reason (why?!) none of them wants to give its fragment just. You play for an anonymous soldier with a sword, wandering through this world.
You start the game in dark forest. Main Menu Gameplay
The game has two key points, one of which allows you to compare it with anything else. The fact that your character and your enemies are just shadows, mysterious silhouettes against the gloomy, reeking of some demonic charm of night landscapes, be it a dense forest or a barren mountain peak. It reminds me of Indonesian shadow puppetry and looks very atmospheric.
Second, it's still not arcade, and adventure. As already mentioned, the wizards somehow, to give their part of the artifact or not, and demand for them perform certain quests, and it will have to do. Not to mention enemies that you will face: the fact that you will only see the silhouette of another giant spider or a huge monster, makes it only worse.
Verdict – a great and extremely fascinating mystical game not covered by the templates. A perfect gift for aesthetes.
