The combat was something I rather enjoyed as it is the star of the show and is impacted little by the character you picked. It is the blade chosen to use in combat instead, from a range of traditional Japanese blades to defining your move sets and playstyle. You will always come across unique and brutal styles of combat as you play either online with friends, in the matchmaking or playing local and testing your skill against the challenging A.I. As you play you will master the combos and learn amazing finisher attacks with rewarding visuals as you destroy or decapitate your opponent.

Die By The Blade delivers fast-paced, deadly skill-heavy combat for players to master in 1v1 battles. While not perfectly balanced, the game features some awesome cosmetics and exciting gameplay that will surely hook fans of the genre in for the long haul.

At its heart, Die By The Blade is an addictive and brutal swordplay dueller that will definitely appeal to those that like lightning-fast fights. But without any real narrative and a snail’s pace rewards progression, it falls short in what should feel like a full release title. Let’s hope time proves us wrong on this one. Die By The Blade is available from 16th May on PC via Steam, and is compatible with Steam Deck.

The Way of the Blade is a difficult journey and tenacious. Despite Die by the Blade sporting an addictive and pulsating one-strike-kill combat, it is not enough to gloss over the other glaring shortcomings. From unpolished graphics, stingy reward payouts to the lack of game modes, the game has a lot going against it. However, the blade isn’t dull yet, and Die by the Blade can sharpen into a formidable contender with time.
