Blade of Darkness
Description
“WELL WORTH A LOOK IF YOU'RE AFTER SOME GOOD OLD FASHIONED GRATUITOUS VIOLENCE”
9/10 – EUROGAMER
“PRETTY DARN SATISFYING EXPERIENCE”
8.8 – IGN
“GREAT EXAMPLE OF ITS GENRE”
82% – PC GAMER
A grim new threat looms over The Central Kingdoms. The borders protected by the fierce King’s Knights are no longer secure. The fearsome orc clans, more numerous than ever, lurk on all roads. The proud nomadic peoples of the steppes are on the alert, for strange beasts prowl the darkness. Not even the stout dwarves, hidden in their underground palaces, seem safe from threat - from the unknown tunnels of its mines, a foul army of hideous creatures advances inexorably.
Chaos seizes the World. Only the memory of the oldest recalls the exploits of a hero and a few warriors, who in other times fought against the forces of Chaos. Ianna, the mother of all living beings, gave the hero a powerful sword to enter the abyss and defeat evil. But that happened a long time ago. A new hero is needed, a chosen one who is worthy to wield the Sword and destroy the enemy... this time forever.

We are happy to bring Blade of Darkness back to life, now in full HD. It's an enduring classic that, at the time of its release, inspired many games in the action-adventure genre through its approach to combat. With this edition we've re-engineered the game to work on modern PC hardware, upscaled the textures, added widescreen support up to 4K resolution, improved anti-aliasing, HDR, bloom, motion blur, reworked camera, added gamepad support and improved its overall stability. At the same time, the gameplay, content, and the story are untouched — featuring all the game’s quirks and charm.Includes original Legacy version of the game with partial
Windows 10 compatibility.
You can access the Legacy Build through Additional Executables section in GOG GALAXY or find it in the game folder.

One of the best games Ever!
I played this when it first came out over 20 years ago..Enjoyed it so many times untill it was just too old for my system... Now thanks to GOG I played it again and although it hasn't aged very well, It is still a great game! A true relic from the past that should be remade!

A trip back in time.
Played it originally when it came out, it blew my mind. Now? To be honest I was surprised just at how well it holds up. Game play is still solid enough and I enjoyed the hell out of it once more. Set up is a little akward on modern computers, but they're guides on how to get it done. If the story was a little more stronger, it would've been even better.

You have to play this
If you think Dark Souls invented third person melee combat, think again.
