Legend of the Blademasters

"Legend of the Blademasters looks to be an excellent 3D action-adventure RPG that will put up a good fight to the likes of Diablo II and several other bigname RPG's that will hit the market in the near future. While it doesn't look like anything revolutionary will come through with this game, I suspect that it will be a wonderful addition to any gamers collection. The graphics look fantastic, the characters and villians are interesting, and the story is engrossing. Definitely a good mixture that will prove to be an enjoyable experience."

"The RPG element of BladeMasters sounds well-reasoned. The game does follow a storyline, so it is partially linear... but at any given time, there will be several different quests you can complete at your leisure. Think of it like the chapters in Baldur's Gate - you have a fair bit of freedom, but you're still working towards a definite overall goal. Your character will have certain skills that can be improved during the game, allowing for a decent amount of customization."

"Characters start off with some spells, but the rest will have to be "learned" in the form of spell gems. "The idea is that magic within the world will gather in certain spots," explains Dunniway, "and when too much gathers, it coalesces into a small hard gem."

"...Environments were inspired by the classic animation of the famous director Hayao Miyazaki... graphics in the preview build...were nothing short of amazing..."

"Legend of the BladeMasters, a real-time 3D Action-Adventure fused with RPG and strategy elements. The player controls up to three characters at a time in the adventure and combat the game sports a third person perspective with the camera centered on the selected character. "
