Review of “Blades of Fire” for PlayStation 5

Sure, here’s a rewritten version of the article:


Blades of Fire from 505 Games and MercurySteam: A Whirlwind Adventure Through a Mythical Land

Hey, folks! So, there’s this game called Blades of Fire. Yeah, it’s from 505 Games, with MercurySteam doing their magic. And it’s not just another game; it’s an action-adventure in some mythical land. I was curious—don’t know why exactly—but anyway, here we go.

Many moons ago, I got my hands on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 on the good ol’ PS3. That was a ride! And then there was Metroid Dread on the Switch. MercurySteam, guys, they’ve got talent! So when Blades of Fire popped up, I said, "Bring it on!" Imagine a world once governed by massive giants—The Forgers, they called ’em. All was peachy till something catastrophic loomed. These giants—pretty clever, right?—created humans to carry on with the whole steel saga. Seriously, thousands of years have flashed by. Who keeps track of time like that? Not me.

Now, here comes our hero, Aran de Lira. Picture this: he’s the King’s Ward Commander’s firstborn, no less. But drama alert: Queen Nerea casts this whacky spell, turning all steel to stone. Yep, stone. Why? So her monstrous army can have a field day with the steel thing. You’re thinking hack ‘n’ slash, right? Nope! Don’t button-mash, or it’s game over. Lucky for Aran, he’s got a sidekick—Adso de Zelk, a young brainiac from the Abbey of Egion. This kid’s got the goods—enemy tactics, puzzles, ancient spells. Handy, right?

Crafting weapons is your savior in this chaos. Ah, steel blades, how I missed ya! Discover Forge Scrolls to up your craftsmanship—mix, match, and conquer! There are seven weapon families and over 30 types of Forge Scrolls. Seriously, who’s keeping count?

Choose your destiny with three difficulty settings: Bronze, Iron, and Steel. Bronze is like training wheels for the newbies—focus on the narrative, not the chaos. Iron steps it up a notch—good luck! And Steel? You better bring your A-game. But hey, switch up the difficulty anytime if you fancy a challenge shuffle.

Control’s simple-ish. Left stick for Aran, right for target locking. Sprint—press in that left stick. Face buttons for attacks—X for body blows, Square and Circle for left and right jabs. Triangles are for head bops. Need a recharge? Down on the D-Pad, but only if you’ve got healing charges, of course. Sharpening your weapon? Left on D-Pad.

And here’s the kicker—R2 switches combat stances. Armor got you down? Adapt and thrive. L2 for a defensive stance. Parry, dodge, hit, repeat—L1’s your dodge buddy. If you forget what you’re doing (trust me, it happens), up on the D-Pad to check objectives. Right on D-Pad gets Adso in the loop. Talking to this guy with R1 might save your skin.

Watch your weapon’s durability—they wear down like, I dunno, soggy cardboard hitting cement. So yeah, use ’em wisely.

Fifty enemies await to ruin your day—really! Their attack patterns? Learn ’em or face the music. Color code hint: green’s good, yellow’s meh, and red? Yeah, that attack’s wasted. Picture battling a skeleton. What’s your move? Don’t say spear, or you’re toast. But a hammer? Wham, bam, thank you, ma’am! Three damage types: slashing, piercing, blunt—pick wisely.

Ah, trophies. Love them or hate them. Forge stuff, slay beasts, and maybe snag a Platinum. Plenty of quests await your gaming prowess!

Blades of Fire—where myth meets mayhem. Giants, steel secrets, apocalyptic chaos. Step into Aran’s shoes and save the day, or at least try not to get whomped.

Phew, that’s Blades of Fire! Check it out on PS5, price tagged at $59.99. Pre-order for a cheeky discount. Happy gaming!
