Featuring a fluid combat experience, a high-octane Combo system, and a plethora of ancient enemies and deities to destroy, bladed FURY is a truly addictive action game. At the Beginning of the warring States period, than, an officer under Duke Kang of qi, set a Trap that killed the Duke, exiled ji, the younger Princess, and put shu, the Elder Princess, under house arrest. This event established the tian family as the ruler of qi. Ji tried to seek justice, but failed repeatedly. During her journey, she encountered ancient deities like hou yi and jingwei, who helped her obtain the powers of soul slivers, and eventually returned to the palace to finish what she started. As the dust settled, ji realized this was the beginning of a new world. … Expand

    Overall, Bladed Fury is a great package. The diminutive length (I finished the main story in under four hours) is offset by a reasonably cheap price tag, making it an easy recommendation to any fans of fast-paced 2D action.

    Pleasant in many ways despite a few imperfections, Bladed Fury proves once again that we will have to reckon with Chinese developers in the years to come. This emulator of Muramasa fulfills its role perfectly. Chinese mythology and the artistic direction pleasant as their Japanese counterparts.

    This competent knock-off won't stick around in anyone's memory after playing it, but Bladed Fury has a strong foundation and the action feels satisfying to play. However, the droll story is a hard sell for anyone not familiar with Chinese history. The art, though, is very good - almost as good as the Vanillaware titles that inspired it. From a certain angle, it might pass as the real thing.

    Bladed Fury is a 2D hack and slash game that stands out for its magnificent artistic design and gameplay. It has little variety of enemies, a somewhat slow pace due to its dialogue and framerate drops. However, if you like the genre, this game is for you.

    This PC port of Bladed Fury brings the good with the bad: a beautiful animated art style akin to Samurai Jack that lacks distinction in both combat and level design. It’s hack and slash combo system adds depth through replayability challenge modes and boss rush modes but is otherwise repetitive in single playthroughs. Along with that, the game suffers from occasional lag and stutters, and I even experienced a single hard crash. Bladed Fury is worth checking out as its run time is short and the story tells of the rich Asian culture that is the warring states period, but ultimately it stumbles to find its footing in the long run.

    Bladed Fury is a good-looking hack 'n slash platformer that tells a decent tale and is set in an engrossing period of history that's been nicely infused here with mythological and supernatural elements. It's Soul Sliver mechanic adds plenty of scope for strategic combat shenanigans and its levels have a few good ideas thrown into the mix. However, all of these positive aspects are let down by poor implementation, dull enemies who don't force you to utilise your moveset, bland and repetitive area layouts, simplistic platforming and constant technical issues that plague combat just as it's starting to up the ante. If the framerate issues are addressed this one may be worth a look for fans of the genre, otherwise it's hard to recommend in its current state.
