Heavenly Sword – это динамичный action, где игроку предстоит взять на себя роль Нарико, рыжеволосой воительницы, владеющей Небесным Мечом – мощным артефактом, несущим проклятие. Сюжет разворачивается вокруг борьбы за спасение клана Нарико от безжалостного короля Бохана, стремящегося к мировому господству. Боевая система игры предлагает широкий спектр атак и комбинаций. Игрок может переключаться между тремя боевыми стойками: быстрой, мощной и дальней, каждая из которых эффективна против определенных типов врагов. Уникальной особенностью является возможность управления метательными снарядами, используя аналоговые стики для направления их полета. Кроме сражений, в игре присутствуют элементы платформинга и головоломки, требующие использования способностей Нарико и окружения. Визуальный стиль игры отличается яркими красками и детальной проработкой персонажей.
In 2011, Dark Souls let players praise the sun, and that sun cast a shadow long enough to engulf the whole industry. The action-RPG--boosted by its spiritual predecessor, Demon’s Souls--kickstarted a new subgenre with a refreshing level of boldness that made it unignorable for any developer making a game with a sword. It was a paradigm shift that swallowed the action genre and meant almost everything was molded after Dark Souls and its stamina meter, methodical movement, and esoteric world. God of War played a similar role in the mid-2000s, as titles like Dante’s Inferno, Conan, Heavenly Sword, Ghost Rider, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow all prayed at the altar of the newly minted Greek deity.

I desperately need this TTRPG to become a videogame—it's one of the coolest things I've ever seen I am the foremost practitioner of sword dialectics. You ever get the feeling that a game has been made, if not just for you, then for a small cohort of absolute freaks of which you are a proud member?

Earlier this week, it was reported that Microsoft has entered negotiations to shut down, or grant independence to, acclaimed action-game studio Ninja Theory just a mere eight days after the studio revealed its newest title, Senua, at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase .
