Check'n Slaveblade
1In this video I take a look at Slaveblade* a third person hack'n'slash dungeon crawler.
I see a lot of negative reviews and I'm not really sure why, I think it's quite good. One person even said it's missing sound effects but they've either been added or I just didn't encounter his issue. Another went on about movement but again I found it to be just fine. Others talk of asset flip, but I don't care if it's an asset flip as long as the game is good and I felt it was. The initial weapon only allows a lunge attack, it's the weapons signature, and this might be miss-interpreted as a bad combat system if you don't know, but you can just use another weapon if you don't like it. People should rate a game on what it's actually like and not how they are told- hashtag transparent.
It is a rogue like game though and quite challenging, I often found myself back at the beginning but it does offer a nice experience.
Ultimately I think it's challenging with a great atmosphere. It looks fantastic and in my experience was fun to play. Not sure why all the negativity? Well done and keep up the good work, it's a cool game.

ABOUT THIS GAME
DISCLAIMER: Made by one dev.
Slaveblade is the story of Idraxymus the Enslaver. Already dead and tormented, Idraxymus makes a deal for resurrection. Everything in his path must be slain and his final destination is a mystery. Slaveblade is an exploration about what it means to live and die. It is a tale about where we are going, and who we are willing to hurt to get there. The game is a fast hacknslasher. Paced more like shooter than rpg, it requires high apm and lots of weapon switching. Prepare to die.
GAMPLAY TIPS:
- Roll, man, roll. Then roll. (spacebar)
- Hit fast, then roll.
- You have 5 weapons (keys 1-5). There is no animation to switch weapons. It happens instantly. You will need to learn to switch mid swing so that you can chain up combos using different swords.
- First weapon: hits the hardest
- Second weapon: all of your animation speeds are faster. So switch to this and run. Switch to start a swing, then switch to another weapon for it's effect.
- Third weapon: this weapon snares/roots the enemy when it lands. Very important for controlling enemies.
- Fourth weapon: this weapon heals you. There aren't many powerups/heals in this game, so use this to keep your health up.
- Fifth weapon: this weapon gives you mana. Once you have enough mana, you can cast spells with E. Each weapon casts a different spell.
- There's no autolock. So don't focus on a single enemy. Dance around them, roll, snare them, and wear them down. Lots of other games already do autolock. I'm experimenting with a new type of combat, but it does take a bit of practice to get used to it.
