Come take a look at the exciting new action-adventure game; Stray Blade. In this title, you play as a rogue adventurer exploring a stunningly rendered valley in the land of Acrea. While on this quest, you encounter some, shall we say, difficulties. You must figure out how to change your current situation, and release yourself of a magical stone that keeps you in the valley. This game offers some stunning third-person combat that tests your skill and reaction time, while providing you a stunning setting to do it all in. If this sounds like a fun jaunt to you, you’re in for a treat. Let’s jump into it.

Gameplay

So, the gameplay to Stray Blade would be most similar to that of Assassins Creed: Valhalla, with maybe a little bit of Dark Souls, but mostly Assassins Creed. Your movements are big and fast, yet deliberate, you will need to stay switched on for all combat for if you falter, they will knock you down and destroy you. The combat is fast paced, with lots of dodges, rolls, and evasions to keep the momentum up. You have a selection of weapons and armor that you are able to choose from, and they will provide you with alternate fighting styles or new buffs and bonuses. Parries make up a large part of the combat system, and enemies are pretty good at them so make sure you stay on your toes or you will outright lose this battle.

The next part of the game is the traversal and exploration. Although you are never too far form a fight in this game, you do have a great opportunity to travel around the valley this game is set in. Its beautiful with some stunning arboreal sights that are clearly at home in a fantasy game as no where on earth looks this nice. The use of ancient architecture and forest gives the game that distinct feeling of intrigue, that something interesting happened here long ago and you are super into finding out what it was.

Visuals

I love the visuals of this game. The character design is brilliant and I am an absolute sucker for independent clothing physics and Stray Blade has them for days. This war torn land is free for you to explore and the many monsters it is filled with are also free for you to fight. I like the use of the bright colors magic provides to the world against the already delightfully shaded world around them.

There is something about this game that’s giving me Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and if you play it, you will know exactly what I mean.

Story

This story follows a rogue adventurer who finds this stunning valley and is subsequently killed in it. Time passes, and eventually you are resurrected by a strange little wolf boy called Boji. Boji tells you that you are not able to leave the valley while the stone in your chest that keeps you alive is linked to it, so you must go on a journey and find a person who can sever that link, allowing you to continue exploring.
