    Blade & Sword has style. Style enough to make up for the shortcomings of completely unoriginal mechanics, style enough to compensate for the excessive difficulty and style in such quantities to make other developers turn green with envy.

    The resolution maxes out at an ultra-cruddy 800X600, the sound effects are wimpy, and the dialogue is like a sad butchery of Hong Kong subtitling. [Apr 2004, p.70]

    The RPG system is very simplified, and the lack of any new armor or weapons is really a serious deterrent to continuing through to the end, but then Blade & Sword saves itself from being a total disappointment.

    A "Diablo II" golem – it looks like the original but lacks its heart and soul.

    Simply beautiful. I can put this on the same level as Diablo II is. Shame they dont make games anymore with an atmopshere like this gem has. Recommended for ARPG fans.… Collapse

    One of the most underrated and one of the best arpg at all times. It does not have more sophisticated skill system or more classes, neither graphics like Diablo II, but it will give you 200+ hours of amazing gameplay. It is very addictive, challenging. With Diablo 2, Titan quest... this is one of my top 3 arpg at all time. Highly recommended. I beated the game on hardest difficulty and coming back to this game even after more than 200hours in Diablo 3. This speaks for all. Try it, it is not worst like best arpg available.… Expand

    Very bad grafics, It would have been ok in '98, but not nowadays. Gameplay gets pretty quick boring, and the fightings are very simple. This game is 6 years too late.… Expand
