DESCRIPTION

The story of Blade of Darkness revolves around the endless battle between the forces of Darkness and the forces of Light. Long ago, the Earth was sealed to the gods with a special spell, protecting mankind from meddling demons but also preventing any helpful intervention by more benign deities. Humanity was left alone to protect itself from the dark forces that remained on Earth. A great hero with a special Sacred Sword set forth to clear the world of the foul denizens left behind by expelled lords of darkness. His great efforts kept the world safe for many years, but he was killed before fully completing his mission.

Now, the forces of evil and darkness on Earth are growing once more, both in strength and numbers. A new hero must seek the lost Sacred Sword, to rid the land of the threat of darkness forever. Players can choose to become one of four different character classes — the Knight, the Barbarian, the Amazon, or the Dwarf - each offering a unique set of skills and abilities. Combat requires active participation by the player, as different control combinations produce different attack moves and higher-level enemies will easily fend off simple one-button attacks. Experience is based on performance, so characters will develop according to the way they are played. Characters journey through diverse, 3D rendered environments full of objects to manipulate, puzzles to solve, and many enemies to slay. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
