RipTen Review: Bloodforge (XBLA)
Ben Rowland writes: British developer Climax Studios has an eclectic roster of games under their belt, with the underrated Silent Hill: Shattered Memories sitting alongside titles like EyePet & Friends and Rocket Knight. In Bloodforge, published by Microsoft Studios and released on the Xbox Live Arcade, they take a stab (literally) at the hack n’ slash genre with Bloodforge, an action-adventure game that provides compelling and enjoyable melee-based combat with copious amounts of bloodshed.
The results bear more than a passing resemblance to the famed God of War franchise in both style and scope. Does this game have what it takes to stand alongside the likes of Kratos, or should Climax Studios have forged a different path altogether?
