Blades of Fire

I simply cannot understand how games can be released with controls that you cannot rebind. Does it take substantial development time or resources to add a basic feature to rebind controls for controller? I was very excited to play this, but my heart sank at this lack of a basic feature. I also can't fathom who though that left bumper was an appropriate dodge button when every other game I have ever played either has rebinds or block on left bumper. Please add this feature, and I will repurchase this game.

I purchased this game because this developer made Blade of Darkness game, that was first game from which Souls games were born and which I enjoyed before Dark Souls was even an idea. This game is cool, but I wish they kept combo mechanics from BoD with unique weapons ( e.g. with vampiric sword = press light attack+ heavy attack+ heavy attack = vampiric strike; heals amount of hp) I think this game doesn't have that. Also they got rid of leveling your character, I wish that stayed too. Overall fighting is realistic and can be complex which I always loved in this genre. Game is more bright and happy looking, with beautiful sceneries, unlike ancestors

Solid action game. It has some elements of a souls-like in terms of combat. It has the unique twist of forging your own weapons and them degrading with use. Since the key element here is that the amount of times a weapon can be repaired depends on your ability to smith/forge, I would have preferred for that part to be a bit more exhaustive and clear. Overall though, not a huge gripe and I have enjoyed what I have played. Buy it if you are a fan of a dodge/parry/block combat system and enjoy adventure games. It doesn't reinvent the wheel but it does a great job of applying it's concepts.

This game does not launch or run properly. Steam should not sell it.

Goat underrated game. Hack n slash singleplayer like this quality not coming to store these days.

A breathe of fresh air for an action RPG. The forgeing aspect is fun little side piece
