Blades of Fire

É um jogo interessante onde a melhor mecanica dele de forja é algo MUITO unico q faz brilhas, infelizmente o combate com MUITOS flertes a souls-type faz com q ele brilhe menos do que poderia, entretanto é um jogo MUITO otimizado, no steam deck e no PC rodam muito bem, entretanto ainda tem algumas questoes sobre mouse e teclado que voa ficar em aberto devido ao pessimo acordo com a epic que fez esse jogo chegar aqui depois da hora. mesmo em não promoção, vale a compra! sem contar uma trilha sonora muito bonita, inimigos que sao desafiadores no seu modo de combate uma vez q alguns nao basta bater, as vezes é necessário perfurar e por ai vai. Gostaria da mecânica de forma expandida, porem com q ele oferece ja é algo que outros nem pensam em reproduzir

Como estoy disfrutando este juego, menuda joya. En cuanto te hace click no puedes parar. Un combate muy divertido, un diseño de niveles brutal, el arte, la música, todo muy cuidado. Que pena que el juego no tuviera la acogida merecida, espero que la gente le pueda dar una oportunidad porque la merece.

Very good game, much better than expected. Level design is nice and forging weapons feels very satisfying.

I really wanted to like this game, I've beaten it and doing some clean up stuff. I was going to originally give it a recommendation but I got to an optional murlock cave and it just showed me much of what was wrong with the game. I've died in that area more times than anywhere else in the game, just from the mechanic not working properly. That sums up much of the game write there. It kinda works; but WHEN it doesn't it just becomes irritating and a slog to finish.

When it came on the EGS last year, i played a free version of it and overall, while it managed to charm me enough to beat it once, it also had a lot of rough edges that rubbed me the wrong way. But at the end of it, despite moment to moment frustrations while playing, my memories of the game remained positive. So now, finally releasing on the real PC storefronts (GOG and Steam) i decided to buy it and give it a fair chance because i heard they are finally adding NG+ with the 2.0 versions. The game is still charming as ever. Old school 3D metroidvania where you can get (literally) lost in for hours looking for how to progress forward, something modern action games have devolved away from to a sections of liear corridaros followed by a circular fighting room, rince and repeat. This is very much not that, so as expected the Modern Gamer is bouncing off hard from this game. My biggest issues with the game seems to be unchanged from versions 1.0 to 2.0 - the directional attack system still does not serve its intended purpose, as certain moves (stabs) are simply superior for most situations, and despite taking all 4 of your face buttons, there is no combo system whatsoever. But the combat is impactful and the gore and dismemberment very welcome in this age of child proof internet. The exploration - superb. The crafting mechanic - once you learn how to do it, it pays off hugely for the weapon variety and fine tunning your gear to enhance the desired playstyle. You can tune block, parry frames, durability, damage and what not, with tradeoffs and gains towards one another. What most people refuse to do and don't understand that you are expected to treat the weapons as disposable, as this is exactly what they are, and are treating their loss as a massive blunder - before getting to end level materials, scrapping and recrafting weapons is your best option, even if you manage to keep up to them, there is little point. They even further incentivise getting rid of them with the notoriety mechanic. The level design and enemy variety are superb. Mercury Steam haven't lost a bit from their Rebel Act Studios and Lords of Shadows days there, i would say Blades of Fire is even a step above compared to their old work. Bosses are a weak point to the game, and it's weird to me they doubled down in 2.0 by introducing challenge rematch option without improving the bosses themselves in the slightest. Hell, they even made them worse in the challenges, but throwing waves of adds for no reason. The boss mechanics are simply not up to snuff with the greatest games in the genre, i have to say Lords of Shadow bosses even were better. Story is servisable, it stays out the way, but the looming threat of the bad guys is ever present. If you manage to unlock the TRVE ending, while predictable, still a heartwarming twist that managed to catch me offguard. Overall, a true gem of a game for people who value old school gameplay first uncompromising design with no handholding. Predictably, the zoomer crowd is not enjoying it much, but that's to be expected. It's sad that a much more compromised and shallow experience like Crimson Desert managed to sell 6m copies, while this gem struggles to find any audience, but thas the curse of the EGS exclusivity, and also complete lack of marketing push. Hell, i bet me sharing the store page in few discord servers sold more copies than whatever 505 was doing to promote it.. Recommended without a doubt.

alles in allem solide! -erfrischend agiles und in seiner Einfachheit ein durchaus faires Kampfsystem. -Story ist durch aus interessant leider nicht sehr atmosphärisch umgesetzt und daher eher Randerscheinung. -Die Hauseigene Engine ist Stark in Optik Präzision und Performance! (sieht geil aus und läuft flüssig) nur Wasser sieht nicht so fein aus! -wer auf adventure steht und mal was fern ab der AAA seuche will, macht hier nix falsch! Der Preis ist Fair (im Sale!)

Sorry guys...the performance is just terrible. Mercury Engine does not seem to be well polished.
