Gameplay

Blaze and Blade is a "hack and slash" action RPG with a heavy emphasis on puzzle solving. The game allows for characters to be created with one of eight classes and offered the ability to choose the sex of each character. The PlayStation version supports multiplayer capabilities as both the MultiTap and cable link are supported.

Plot

Adventurers come across an ancient lithograph during their travels, supposedly very valuable, and desire to verify the authenticity of this artifact. To do so, the adventurers dive into more dungeons to collect magical gems which in legend fit into the inset of the lithograph. The lithograph united with these magical gems is said to impart great power to the wielders of this artifact, and if the adventurers do receive great power due to reuniting these treasures it will serve as proof to them that they have found the legendary artifact of lore.

Reception

Eric Bratcher reviewed the PC version of the game for Next Generation, rating it one star out of five, and stated that "This is crap in a box. If you get this 'game' as a gift, throw it away – even Goodwill probably won't take it."[1]

Reviews
gollark: https://pastebin.com/wYBZjQhNÞoŧaŧopłex (potatoplex) now has a custom mode for command computers! Don't worry, there's no manual configuration, just run it on a command computer and it'll automatically enter command mode and install itself as startup!
gollark: it is DOWN
gollark: It has either a third or an infinity-th of the backdoors, too, depending on how you count!
gollark: Those can come later.
gollark: https://pastebin.com/0dwT19zhTry TomatOS today! More lightweight than potatOS, none of the features!
