Glory Ages - Samurai | Tutorial and First Look
6This is Glory Ages - Samurai and it is very similar play style to that of the latest clip I posted on, Slash of Sword however this one proved to be much more difficult due to the in game a.i.
Didn’t make it too far past the tutorial but if I can master the combat you can bet to see more of this in the future on my channel!!
WITH MUSIC
“Samurai showdown
In this handsome yet spartan arena combat game, you control a lone swordsman in a picturesque rendering of feudal Japan.
You must fight off successive waves of armed combatants using a four simple manoeuvres. There's a single attack button, which can be hammered for combos - though a limited stamina bar prevents excessive spamming.
There's also a block button to fend off attacks, and a crucial dodge button that enables you to roll away from enemy swipes. Finally, you have a rage button which appears when you build up your rage metre.
This sends you into an indestructible state, with accompanying black and white filter for added samurai film moodiness.
Slash and turn
More important than your mastery of this simple move set is an appreciation of distance and timing. If you time your slash correctly - such as immediately after a failed enemy attack - you could conceivably score a one-hit kill on your opponent.
It certainly feels the part, though fights do become repetitive fairly quickly. There isn't much variation, with even a move to a new level essentially amounting to a palette swap.”
