Pax Prime 2015 Day 3 Recap

Blade: Sword of Elysion

Finally we have Blade: Sword of Elysion, coming soon to Apple Devices and soon after for Android users such as myself! We didn’t get a lot of time to really sit down and enjoy this, but it was certainly an interesting concept for a mobile action RPG. It’s a title that is already out in Asian markets but is being worked on for the American audience. The controls remind me of an article I recently covered, in Stellacept online, where you have your attack buttons in the bottom right, movement in the bottom left. The coolest thing about this dungeon crawler to me was the PVP fights which very much resemble the fighting game series Soul Caliber. It felt like an MMO Dungeon Crawler meets Fighting Game hybrid, and that’s going to help it be a stand out later this year. Each ‘area’ has lots of stages that feature a mini-boss at the end of the dungeon. Which is a nice warm up but nothing compared to the much stronger boss character waiting at the end of each mission. The controls looked very smooth, and the only reason we saw lag was the devs were connected to the Korean server so I’m certain that won’t be an issue for those of us connecting to the American servers later on! Blade is going to be a killer app, I’m certain of it.

Thanks again for tuning in to all of our Pax Prime coverage! The expo was sensory overload and there were so many things I wanted to see and cover but could not. Keep your eyes peeled though, there’s always more news to come!
