Blades of Fire is a solid but uneven debut as MercurySteam’s new IP, blending satisfying weapon-crafting with God of War-inspired combat.
The results are good if you’re looking for a soulslike with some of its own original ideas.
MonsterVine: "With clunky level design, bad jokes, and frustrating mechanics, Blades of Fire fails to make its weapon crafting system worth the effort."
MercurySteam talks to MP1st about Blades of Fire's inspiration, confirming it's the start of a much larger story and more.
