Demo Guide - posted by Warlock @ 21:45

Severance/Blade of Darkness is indeed a very anticipated game! It appears that a hell of a lot could not wait for an English demo to be released, and therefore bothered to download the over 100Mb Spanish demo. Well, so did we (of course) and what a rush!

We all here at Blade Universe love the demo, I personally think it is the best game I've ever played, no matter what genre! Not all share this opinion though, probably because of the controls and language in the demo. With the admirable efforts of marfan, who translated just about everything into English with his language pack, things got a hell of a lot easier for all of us!

Still, many people have difficulties adapting to this new style of gameplay and controls. Therefore, we have tried our best to make you a demo guide, in order to help you on your way and familiarize yourself with the game.

The guide comes in several parts. In the first part, we'll introduce you to the basics of the game as well as the controls and combat. We will discuss weapons, combos, items and more later. Hope you'll find it usefull!

Great guide!

Regarding the game; There are certain problems in the control and camerasystem that I feel like sharing. When you are close to walls and the such, the camera can freak out and leave you with no info on what you are doing. I would like to see an option where the camera takes more factors in consideration when it sweeps. Also, it would be nice if you could strafe without having an enemy targeted. It is extremely frustrating to fight several opponents at the same time with shortrange weapons, as it is now.

Anyway; It seems to be a great game. Ambient and brutal. However I gave up the demo after I was cut in pieces by the trap that you run into when you are chasing the guy in read armor,(Ragnar I guess). I could not handle the loading times, and unfortunately I had used up my savingslots (can only be used once) :(
