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!

Titanium: Get this game, it's gory and violent and merciless and you can definitely throw limbs at your opponents. What more do you need?
SERIOUSLY!? This game shouldn't be called "Blade of Darkness" it should be called "The Greatest Game Ever"! I so need to get this.

You're also describing Shadow of Rome... ;p

Daedolon: So you just released Severance with no mention of it being Severance.

JudasIscariot: Well, the game did have three different titles depending on the region:

Spain: Blade: The Edge of Darkness
Other European countries: Severance: Blade of Darkness
US: Blade of Darkness

Pick one :D
Yet the gamecard mentions that "Blade of Severance" is a TPP combat adventure...
Methinks that's way too many names for the same game.

Edit: and now it's fixed. :)

tinyE: Atleast it's not a sale item because I'm not doing any purchasing for another week or so and it helps that I'm not under any pressure. and MikeMaximus, Iove your login, your avatar, and your country but with all do respect, I HATE THIS SITE! Before GOG I was able to do things like, buy food and pay bills. NO MORE! I HATE YOU! DAMN YOU TO HELL GOG! :D
I'll second that...this site is like crack. Why is that?

MichaelPalin: I'd say there are other countries where people talk German.
There are, but the German Jugendschützer don't give a shit about that.

"Selling violent games to a German audience? You sir, are a criminal!
HOLY CRAP!!! Been trying to get this to work on w7 to no avail for years! Known as Severance : Blade of Darkness in UK for anyone confused.

There are some great mods for this game, dunno how they work with the gog version though.

Watched some gameplay video on youtube. Drinking potion and then discarding the empty flask looks really great. Somehow feels like Dark Souls. Too bad I got some backlog to finish first.

Blasphemy! I'm in the middle of 2 dungeon crawlers, 3 RPGs, 2 FPS, and a virtual cribbage game and the only reason I haven't bought this yet is because of lack of funds which I will remedy soon enough. NEVER let a backlog stop you my friend!

Last time I tried to play it (probably on xp) I could not get it run; even with all the tricks. Yes buy it from GOG which I will do in the future.
Holy crap, I never would have expected this to get on the site. This was and still is, one of my most favorite action adventure games. The unique, even still, combat system allows this game to be replayable many times over.

The game overall has aged well though the animations are rather stiff and sometimes silly and the levels are pretty well designed. Each hero you pick has a unique "origin" map to start with.
Thank-you for the images and the gif, it really does look amazing.

Will wish list this game for now, but I am already looking forward to when I do get around and buy this game.
INSTABOUGHT!

So fucking happy this finally got here. I truly did not expect that! I was lamenting the fact that it cannot be bought anywhere, and here you are!

And I just tested it and it seems to work perfectly, in 1600*1200. Finally going to delve into this Dark Souls precursor.
