If I could slash its frustrating level designs in half, focusing on the character and intrigue its eccentricities added while sifting out the gameplay impurities they come with, Blades of Fire would be an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a cool hack-n-slash. Instead, it’s plagued with unforgivable wheel-spinning that undermines a lot of what I liked about its satisfying gameplay loop. I still think this distinct, innovative combat loop is worth checking out for anyone in the mood for something new, but even then, I recommend anyone but the most dedicated fan proceed with caution.
