But here we are, about to get our hands on a nostalgic breeze through the old days.
Heres everything we know about the upcomingBlades & Battles.
What is Blades & Battles?
Blades & Battlesis an upcoming fantasy beat ‘em-up game.
Being based on King Arthurs mythological tales, the world also will be set in a fantasy realm.
Furthermore, youll be able to control two characters: King Arthur and the legendary knight Lancelot.
Itd have been nice to control more than two characters.
Arthur and Lancelot themselves, though, do differ greatly.
Each will have their unique skills and sword fighting styles.
Oh yes, youll be swinging swords in mostly melee-based combat.
Also, the Steam page promises an immersive, action-packed adventure of chivalry, honor, and adventure.
Gameplay
We dont have much information on the gameplay.
All we know is that youll control two legendary swordsmen in Arthurian mythology.
Each swordsman will have a unique set of skills and swordplay.
From the trailer, youll be swinging your sword at close range.
The strikes are mostly upward and downward strikes, although you might embellish your moves with high jumps.
There are also kicks you could throw to finish off opponents.
There doesnt seem to be any dodging, blocking, or parrying.
Its also unclear just how stringent the timing and precision will be.
Ways to upgrade will definitely be available.
Im curious, though, about the finer details ahead of the launch.
