Overview

Blade and Sword Overview

Have you ever played a game so corny and flat, but oddly satisfying? No storyline, horrible effects, but completely infectious combat? If you haven’t, you should try to pick up Blade and Sword in the ‘used’ pile. This frail excuse for an RPG is far from a solid buy, but the combat and combo system is too fun to pass up.
