Blade of Darkness

Hack and slash all who oppose you into itsy bitsy pieces in Codemasters? solid third-person action game.

Blade combines third-person action and RPG elements into a potent mix that will satisfy your bloodlust for adventure on the PC. You pick a hero from four characters, each with their own weapon specialties, and set out to battle against rogue knights, huge orcs, the undead, and many other nasty creatures.

Blade?s basic combat controls are simple, but the complexities of fighting with sword and shield make them tough to master. A helpful lock-on system enables you to circle individual opponents easily, but the erratic game camera makes fighting in close quarters almost impossible. Still, Blade is enjoyable. The puzzle-solving isn?t complicated, as what you need to do is usually fairly logical.

The visuals show off impressively realistic lighting and topnotch texture maps. The audio effects, on the other hand, are sparse. Despite the so-so sounds and demanding controls, Blade of Darkness is an entertaining action/adventure game where it pays to keep your wits honed and your sword sharpened.
