Once again, the people of Gameloft It has left us with our mouths open. With Blades of fury they have been surpassed again, redefining a classic of arcade machines and home consoles, this time for our iPhone / iPod Touch.
Blades of fury is a fighting game, totally in three dimensions, and with a graphic quality worthy of an Oscar for the best special effects. At first glance, those of you who have been playing this type of game for years, it will quite remind you of the classic and famous Soulcalibur. Blades of fury takes up this theme completely, only this time it comes directly to squeeze the most of the graphic power of our devices of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),.
Contrary to games like Tekken o Street Fighter, Blades of fury takes up the theme of one-on-one fight, except that this time it is using weapons. Our characters are equipped with swords, axes, daggers or katanas (among many others). As always in this type of game, fighters equipped with light weapons will move more easily than those who are equipped with heavy weapons. However, the attacks of the latter will be more damaging than the rest.
The game allows us to choose between 10 different fighters. Of these 10 fighters, 4 of them will need to be unlocked as we progress through the game.
As an addition to this type of fighting games, apart from the classic life bar of our fighter, we find a magic bar. As the game progresses and we launch attacks against our opponent, the latter will fill up, allowing us to perform 3 different special attacks.
Regarding the controls of Blades of fury, are composed of a virtual joystick, or a D-pad. Since we have tested it on ActualidadiPhone, we have not had any problems with the controls. This aspect is to take into account with games of this type, in which controls are everything.
On the other hand, with a series of buttons on the screen we will control our vertical and horizontal attacks, as well as the attacks with magic and the movements of blocking blows.
En Blades of fury there are several game modes:
- History
- Arcade
- Survival
- Training
These 4 modes will guarantee us several hours of play to complete them all. In Story mode, each character will have a backstory that must be followed to face the other characters. Once we have defeated 8 opponents we will reveal an ending to a character's story. In the same way, we will unlock extra content from the game.
As small drawbacks to this recent version 1.06 of the game we can highlight the following:
Single multiplayer is unresponsive. The game is supposed to allow online games WiFi o Bluetooth, but at the moment this last option is not included.
Another small point against it is the sound effects of the game. The voices are really poorly done. Anyway, this is not a problem, since we can listen to our favorite music while we fight like crazy with this game.
Undoubtedly, these small details will be improved as new versions of the game appear, which we can update for free, of course.
Finally, here is a video of the game in action:

The game is very short, but the truth is worth it 😀
Hello, the game looks very good but I have not understood the controls very well, it is that in the images and the video only the virtual joystick appears but there are no kick / punch buttons ...
Are they on the screen and do not appear in the images or do you press directly on the screen without virtual buttons?
thanks and regards
