I remember buying this from the EBGames bargain bin back in "the day". It was pretty fun, and had some cool graphics despite relatively low system requirements. I remember playing this with its signature dynamic shadows on a PIII 550 Mhz processor just fine & yet today Gearbox/Epic can't get dynamic shadowing to work properly (ie:lag free) on today's vastly more efficient & powerful multi-core processors in Borderlands 2.

Anyhow, i remember that this game had some lackluster "dueling" multiplayer, but no real coop. That was the only flaw that I remember (well, besides the literally insulting save system). This sort of game cries out, I believe, for coop. Did a coop mod ever crop up in all these years since the game's initial release?

No co-op mode unless someone made a mod for that. There is the dueling mode where you can fight another player, as you have already mentioned :D

I'm hoping that someone out there made a mod for this game. It wouldn't be the first time that the GOG community has surprised me with mods, like the Deus Ex graphical enhancement pack/engine upgrade, the graphical/bug fix for Outcast or the well-done coop mod for Shogo.

Still, I'll have to get on grabbing this game. I still have my old CD copy gathering dust. I hope that the lack of native 1920*1080 resolution support (sigh, dev oversight) won't hurt the game too greatly when I replay it.

The duel mode, IMO, sucked. The dev team went through all the work to give us multiplayer but had to settle for the lackluster PVP instead of full-fledged coop (which might have dueling, ala Borderlands). Just like another somewhat forgotten game, Chrome. Of course, the devs for Blade of Darkness have a pretty darn good excuse that the Chrome guys lack: they went out of business, if I recall, whereas the Chrome guys went on to make other games.

Coop FTW.

1920x1080 32-bit color, is included in the game package from GOG.

Under your video driver selection, pick ropengl, I believe its rastaOpenGl, goto config, and select your desired resolution.
