Bladed Fury
Bladed Fury is a classic Chinese fantasy 2D action game, based on Chinese history, mythology with a dash of surrealism in the mix. At the beginning of the Warring States Period, Tian, an officer under Duke Kang of Qi, set a trap that killed the Duke, exiled Ji, the younger princess, and put Shu, the elder princess, under house arrest. This event established the Tian family as the ruler of Qi. Ji tried to seek justice, but failed repeatedly. During her journey, she encountered ancient deities like Hou Yi and Jingwei, who helped her obtain the powers of Soul Slivers, and eventually returned to the Palace to finish what she started. As the dust settled, Ji realized this was the beginning of a new world…

Bladed Fury Review
Beautiful artstyle, responsive controls, game sticks to its’ strengths with mostly ever shifting advancing combat and minimal platforming. It is short, and it’s one of those rare games where I actually wouldn’t mind it being a bit longer, but you can replay it on harder difficulty or do the boss challenge to pad your time, which is alright since the game is so focused down anyway.
It did seem to have some random chunky framerates on my relatively new machine, I couldn’t ever really nail down why or how to fix it, but it usually was only for a minute or so. I wish the XP orbs that were hidden had some kind of “tell” when you were in the room, mostly it’s just annoying if you care to look for them.
I can’t say enough about the art though, it’s gorgeous throughout, and the sound and music fit right in. The fact that it’s a fairly smooth and entertaining stabby-ninja-combat game to boot is a bonus. I actually do wish it had a dedicated button to freeze frame and hide the UI for screenshots but I’d probably have just taken dozens then.
If you have a tight budget, you maybe won’t get the bang for your buck here, but otherwise I highly recommend it and definitely feel like I got my money’s worth.
