Bunch of kitties complaining about mechanics & difficulty.
Game's atmospheric music and lighting system are beautiful. Makes it a really enjoyable journey.
Mechanics are good, nothing to complain about a game from 2001. You just have to adapt and learn, which I find attractive.

Blade Of Tiredness is a very robotic game, robotic in the style of ps1 graphics with terrible turning and god awful stamina bar that makes absolutely zero sense, i can jump around like a gymnast across the map endlessly but i can't swing a sword smaller than my forearm for 3 swings without getting tired and just standing there heaving breath, what are the abs just for show?
its hard to care for such a game that has such a slow response to timing and attacks when they are a crucial part of it and your ability to overcome it, i bow to those that have the patience for such a game but for me I couldn't stand another minute, especially after the first death sent me right back to the beginning of the level.
never taken so many screenshots of a game unintentionally whoever set the key to pushing down on the controllers joystick needs to reconsider being in charge of default controls for games.

Saving is important,gameplay is just a little old but it is better than most of the newer games and for its time it is a masterpiece.

Este juego es una obra maestra. Adelantando a su tiempo, ponía al limite algunos pc y tarjetas gráficas de la época. Aún hoy en pleno 2025 se sigue sintiendo bien a los mandos. Uno de las claras influencias de los Souls que han llegado muchos años después. Cómpralo!!
