“I won’t say much, but this game is a masterpiece! The level design is truly interesting, and the combat system may not reach the stars, but it can still surprise you. Definitely recommended, especially if you’re a fan of Blade of Darkness like I am! 20 out of 10!”

“This game was so ahead of it's time. I play through the story a couple of years ago, and it's still great! Remember when we played this multiplayer on LAN, chopping each others heads off in a medieval chaos. Remaster?”
