Blade of Darkness | SNEG, Ltd.
Launching October 7, 2021
Originally released in 2001, Blade of Darkness is a cult-classic blood-soaked adventure game being updated and re-released from SNEG, Ltd. The game is perhaps best known for its unique and vicious combat mechanics, which put an emphasis on interactivity with the game environment and dynamic dismemberment of foes as well as the player characters themselves. Combat is so unrelenting that if a player’s hero were to lose an arm or leg mid-battle, they could grab it and use it as a weapon as a last resort. Death only comes when all blood has been spilt!
Players take on the role of one of four characters: Tukaram, the Barbarian; Naglfar, the Dwarf; Sargon, the Knight; or Zoe, the Amazon — each with their own individual strengths, weaknesses, and skills. Players must hack and slash their way through hordes of enemies on their gory quest to save the world from the forces of chaos.
