Was it worth the wait???
Well I spent the entirety of last week completing Blade and Sorcery 1.0. Yes, you read that right, “completing”, because now there’s actually a FULL GAME TO COMPLETE. You see, Blade and Sorcery’s 1.0 update, has brought the highly anticipated CRYSTAL HUNT mode to the game, and along with it, comes a satisfying progression system, new magic spells to unlock, a new enemy faction to fight, new weapons and armor to buy, a fully voiced NPC that you can trade with, and a whole new dungeon that includes the THE MOST FUN VR BOSS I’ve ever faced. Not even kidding.
I’m so happy to say that after 5 long years of waiting…Blade & Sorcery is finally the game I always wanted it to be.
Well at least on PC it is. They are working on the Quest version now though, which should hopefully be coming soon.
However, as much as I’ve been loving the full release, after completing it so soon I couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed. I mean, in the time it’s taken Blade and Sorcery to release this mode, we’ve gotten similarly awesome VR melee games like Battle Talent, Hellsplit Arena, Dungeons of Eternity, Legendary Tales, Grimlord, etc. The point being that there’s some real competition now for the best physics-based VR combat game. And with this 1.0 update seemingly marking the end of Blade and Sorcery’s active development, I can’t help but feel like things are wrapping up right as they were getting interesting. In other words, I think there’s still so much unfulfilled potential with a gameplay foundation as solid as this. But let me know what you think!
