Description

The hero was dead, but before he died he had defeated the evil... So we thought. But the Darkness have returned, and it is time to reclaim the Sword, kill the foul creatures, and destroy the Enemy forever...

Blade of Darkness is a third-person adventure in the style of Tomb Raider, but you yield swords and other melee weapons, with plenty of blood and gore (chop heads and limbs, skewer your opponents, and more).
