As heroic as fantasy gets!

Blade of Darkness, a brutal and challenging TPP action hack ‘n’ slasher set in a dark and gritty heroic fantasy realm that feels like a Robert E. Howard novel, is available on GOG.com, for only $5.99

Heroic fantasy--a genre of fiction that has fueled the imaginations of many generations. Dark and brutal worlds full of injustice and ominous magic are always waiting for a champion: a man or woman, scantily clad, wielding a legendary weapon, slashing beasts and villains left and right, and looking as fabulous as a demigod. This is the heart and soul of such stories and it didn't change much since the time of ancient myths. The fact that we enjoy them so much proves that we aren't that different from our great ancestors and tales of godlike heroism still get our blood run pumping. Gather ‘round, friends, and hear the story of four heroes and their epic battle against the dark overlord, Dal Gurak, the necromancer.

Blade of Darkness is a third person perspective action game that focuses on combat. Each of the four heroes has its very own set of moves and statistics, and starts the adventure in a different area. There's over 100 different weapons you can use in the game, each with its own characteristics that reflect on the fighting style. New special attacks can be unlocked as your character gains experience and power. While you slash and bash through the hordes of terrifying monsters, you will feel the urge sometimes to stop and look at the beautiful--if a bit gloomy--surroundings. If you're looking for a game that will take you on a fantastic quest filled with merciless combat, this is the one to pick up!

There are great deeds of bravery and might to be done in Blade of Darkness, for only $5.99 on GOG.com. Get heroic!

Thank you for a reply. I work so hard to come up with this stupid shit to annoy you people and sometimes I get the feeling I'm just being ignored.:P
I am seriously taking them out tomorrow though so I'll be Mr. Good Son for a few hours! That has NOTHING to do with this thread but I couldn't find a "Adults kissing their parents' ass" thread to post in.

Sounds like a case of being bored out of your mind. Maybe you should play some games. ;)

I hadn't mentioned this, but they are my B&B co-owners and operators so I'll play games tonight, suck up tomorrow night. :D FYI Just shrunk and killed a mountain troll in Gothic so I'm good!
Eh, Imma just stick to Dark Souls..
What the hell i was never expecting this game to be here!!!! It is one of my all time favorite games, even more then System shock 2, the game with the best sword play system that i know about, i will buy it for sure.

BTW this was also the first game that i know about with real time shadows/lights, very advanced physics before havok and reflective water that reflects the environment in real time.

I'm really curious how GoG was able to make the game work on W7, did you guys add access to the source code?

And why is that? From what i've seen of Dark Souls they aren't really similar, and Secerance works fantastically with the keyboard and mouse and has a tonne of different combos depending of the combination of key's you press the weapon you have and level you are at, but from what i know of Dark Souls from other players, because it was made for a gamepad it doesn't work very well with the keyboard and mouse.
The game's so hardcore that instead of having a difficulty setting it rates how much of a coward you are by the number of saves you make.
I find it really funny that being the "best game from spain" should be enough to buy it. Don't get me wrong it IS a good game and worth buying and i have nothing against spain but really how many games are there made in spain?

Just this one I think... ;) ;) ;)
Wow! I can't believe it. There is only one day, I am out for a business trip and can't check for GOG updates and than this. That's one of the games I still have at disc but cannot get it to run. And it's one of the best hack'n'slash games ever (my opinion...). Instabuy!

I honestly think that Commandos is the best game made in Spain, anyway I loved so much Blade when I played 10 years ago.
Also Runaway series is a very good adventure, and so it is Hollywood Monsters (its 2nd part known as The Next Big Thing in some countries).

That's what I love: Games with some Guts and games that have the guts to insult you
You, guys, are officially AWESOME to me....
This is one of my all time most wanted games I've wanted on GoG for so long.

I still have my cds for this game but it's a pita running on Win7 with a speed bug that messes up the entire game.

CAn't wait to buy this later today and play it.

This game has hands down imo the BEST melee combat system of any game I have ever played. Even better then Die by the Sword, Rune, Jedi Knight series, etc.

It's the game which I judge all melee combat systems by, and so far none have even came close to offering the depth and feeling of this combat system.

I wish more developers would have played this game and know of its melee combat system so we'd get it in newer games, at least something that comes close.

You're doing yourself a huge disservice. This game has a better more in-depth combat system then even dark souls has, while Dark Souls is a great game this game has a far more in-depth combat system.

To the point that each weapon you use has different combat abilities and some of the best moves take time and paietence to learn and know when/where to use them.

It also has one of the best location based damage effects, instead of your one-hit still animated death scene like in Dark Souls you literally will be cutting off heads, arms, legs, bodies in half, etc (and the same can be done to you).

If you have any interest in third person action adventure games and melee combat you'll be missing out on one of, if not THE best one, at least in terms of the combat.
