Blades of Fire might be the game you didn't know you wanted
I sure as hell didn't know I wanted it until I played the demo.
It's a fantasy action-adventure game made by ex-Blade of Darkness devs. And yes, it means that its combat is very satisfying and direction-based. It feels like nothing I've played before, and so do quite a few features.
Not least of them is forging your weapons and accounting for little details like its material, weight, balance and length which all affect how they handle. Honestly it's difficulty to descriibe until you try it.
So why try it?
Because it's an original game that dared to do its own thing, and that's worth at least checking out. I'm rambling because it's barely known or discussed, which is a travesty.
