Blades of Gory Reviews

Game is pretty bad... just a 3 button fighter... and as far as blocking goes... there is no time to wait and see what the attack is gonna be so is just a guess... better off attacking I'd think. Didn't play it long enough though so.. I think I really though it was gonna be something else like a campaign style game but this is just a 1vs cpu battle or 2 humans game.

A game where you have to react to the opponent to block well but the characters barely have windups so you can't do it well especially if they just keep spamming.

I haven't put much time into this game but I can say it's a fairly fun game. Very simple and to the point and the art style is actually really nice and one of the better parts of this game. The animations are pretty smooth and it's a nice game to look at. The game play pretty much boils down to just playing footsies, which isn't a bad concept. With that said the game does lack content but it's an arcade style kind of game and it encourages replayability. I feel like the $10 price tag at the moment is a bit high however, I'm sure the work that went into this game is why the price is so high. Hard for me to recommend at it's current price point but, it is a fun game. Would be good to play with friends and such. I'm still giving it a thumbs up, hoping to get the achievements fixed soon as well as I do love my Achievements.

I haven't played that much but absolutely in love with this little game, the mechanics is way more complex than you could magine for a little game like this, super the tag 3vs3 mode, animations are cool, locations are inspired, a lot of juicy details. it's the kind of game that really bring you back to the good old times. Absolutely 52% for this is a shame and, I don't intend to be mean but... it's the proof players nowadays are a bunch of spoiled whimpy crybabies. A couple of suggestions that i'd really love to have: - jumping ability: ok it's a design choice, but still it would be a nice add - add an auto-leap back when the characters overlap each other I hope this will receive the attention it deserves and really would love to see new characters to the roster :D

Pretty fun little brawler. Best part of course is the pixel art, with detailed sprites and nice animations. Final boss is such a BS, but the journey to him is quick and fun. It's not that hard, really, just don't overthink it.

Remember the times when playing against the CPU was fun, the bosses were challenging at first, but somehow you found the pattern to beat them? Remember those NES fighting games where you didn’t have to learn massive strategies to win, and you could just have fun with every character by finding their special traits, power, and range? Well, this is what this game is all about. Also, it’s the first game I’ve ever seen with interactive endings. This is awesome!

advantage: 1. there is no such game in the piracy market; 2. the UI interface and operation are very user-friendly, excluding the default keyboard operation of the characters; 3. art characters is beautiful, its a cool art style! disadvantages: 1. the default keyboard setting is very anti-human. AS is move, QW is taunt, DFG is attack, and ERT is block of DFG attack. My hands are large, and it is hard to control "QWERT-ASDFG" at all; (Especially taunt, once I do this action, I will be killed by Ai quickly. To be honest, I am far away from AI!) 2. two person in fight are limited to use the same keyboard, and it can't put down four palms ✋✋✋✋； 3. the game does not have a simple-medium-difficult difficulty setting, and there exists delay in the operation during playing game. Sometimes the skill are too slow to beat AI;

Have you ever played a game of Smash Bros against a friend and you both have one stock left? You dodge his attack, he blocks yours, you jump overhead to strike from the skies and he rolls to the left? After what seems like hours of this chess match one of you finally land the game winning side smash? Well that's what this game is. It's fast paced, requires proper attention, and is fun! The controls are pretty easy to learn but the true skill is in knowing what move is coming. It may take a little while to catch on due to different characters having different angles of attack but after a couple of hours of playing this game you should be well on your way to losing to the final(?) boss.

I love this game! The polish and little details really give it a charm that makes you want to replay it over and over. The mechanics of the game itself are similar to fighting genre games that reward footsies/neutral play. You should also understand that this game is DIFFICULT. The bosses take different strategies to defeat and you have to think about how you're going to approach it or you WILL die. This is also a great game if you're into speedrunning! It has a good run time for a speedrun and lots of interesting visuals for the viewer. Getting the mechanics of the fights down feels very rewarding in the context of a speedrun. There are some speedruns on youtube that you can check out if you're interested. Overall I would rate this game a solid 8/10. 100% worth your money!

Not much of a fighting game in terms of complexity, you only have 3 attacks and 3 parry moves, so you don't need any practice with characters. Essentially you only have 2 choices, you can parry to get the frame advantage, or you can spam attacks instead, not very complicated (oh and you can taunt as well). As far as I can tell, all of the characters have the same moves, although the range and damage seem to be different. I would still recommend it for anyone that likes pixel art, it's a very silly game with decent humor. When you play arcade you have to beat all of the characters, and then you get to fight 4 bosses which have different mechanics. The game features a few different modes, including the arcade, versus, 3vs3 and sudden death. [h1] Pros: [/h1] + nice stage variety and pixel art + fun boss fights + couple different modes + achievements (broken at the moment) [h1] Cons: [/h1] [u] Glitches [/u] - I encountered a few different bugs, such as occasional stutter, freezing and the unwelcome usage of F12 key which overlaps the screenshots. Achievements are broken for me as well. [b] Overall Thoughts: 7/10 [/b] The game is so silly with its visuals and characters, it's hard not to love it. It's fun to beat the arcade a few times, the bosses can be pretty hard. I played a few matches with a friend, not very strategic by any means (mostly spam and hope you win), but it was alright.
