I thought we had a thread on this game already but it doesn't show up in search. Well, we've got one now.

Check out our first Blades of Fire preview! When I sat down to play developer MercurySteam's latest project, Blades of Fire, I expected something of a return to the studio's Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games, updated with the modern stylings of God of War. An hour later I thought I was playing a Soulslike, albeit one where all the stats were in my weapons rather than an RPG character sheet. By the end of the three-hour hands-on session, I realised both of those observations were simultaneously true and false: this is a game that is unmistakably built on well-worn ground, but the unique arrangement of both its borrowed components and new ideas results in a fresh and interesting approach to the action-adventure genre. Don't miss our impressions and a look at some Blades of Fire gameplay!

Honestly, it does look pretty good. These are the guys who did the Kojimavania game, right? You can totally see the DNA in the art. I will keep an eye on this; I'm a little concerned over the combat, but a lot of Souls games have combat that looks shitty but play great.
