About Blade of Darkness

A terrifying new menace threatens the Central Kingdoms. The frontiers formerly guarded by the ferocious King’s Knights are no longer secure. The dreadful orc clans are more numerous than ever, lurking on every path. The noble nomadic peoples of the steppes are on high alert because mysterious animals roam the night. Even the stalwart dwarves, concealed in their subterranean castles, do not seem safe from danger – a filthy army of ugly monsters marches steadily from the mysterious passageways of their mines.

The world is in chaos. Only the oldest remembers the deeds of a hero and a few soldiers who once battled against the forces of Chaos. Ianna, the mother of all living things, bestowed onto the hero a strong sword in order for him to descend the abyss and battle evil. But it was a long time ago. A new hero is required, one selected to wield the Sword and vanquish the enemy… this time forever.

FOUR ACTIVATED CHARACTERS

Choose your Champion of Ianna — Tukaram, the Barbarian; Naglfar, the Dwarf; Sargon, the Knight; or Zoe, the Amazon — each with their own set of strengths, weaknesses, and combat abilities as you hack and slash your way through a blood-soaked journey to rescue the planet from Chaos.

COMBAT BLOODY AND GORY

Learn to employ lethal combination strikes to rip your opponents into pieces. Cut off your opponents’ limbs and use them as weapons!

ENVIRONMENTS INTERACTIVE
