<p>finished playing <a href="https://eggplant.place/search?r=1&q=https://eggplant.place/game/1UwyorKFvF6Yxa9SXbUvux" rel="nofollow">Bladed Fury</a> 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 <br>Played the Steam version of <a href="/tags/bladedfury/" rel="tag">#BladedFury</a>.</p><p>Seen some times this game being compared to Vanillaware's Muramasa - The Demon Blade. Dunno how it differentiates from the version I played, Muramasa Rebirth, but my thoughts on Bladed Fury comparing to Muramasa Rebirth specifically:</p><p>- Explorarion is a bit more platforming-oriented on Bladed Fury than on Muramasa <br>- Bosses in Muramasa are so overused that I had to give up on the game out of boredom; meanwhile, in Bladed Fury, repeated bosses are kept to a minimum <br>- Combat in Bladed Fury is a tad slower than Muramasa's but still sufficiently fast-paced <br>- The plot is far more consistent, focused and well-thought </p><p>Expanding the comparison scope to the other Vanillaware games I finished, Dragon's Crown, Odin Sphere and GrimGrimoire, it feels as one of the most Vanillaware-like games out I've seen. Story's told in a similar theater-like manner, scenery art gives the positive illusion (narratively speaking) of the world being much bigger, OST is great for ambience, and the characters and enemies' art style is pretty unique, even if borrowing from Vanillaware's general style.</p><p>Tip no.1: <br>Enemies generally don't respawn, but in some some circumstances they still do, if you want to farm experience. Possibly an incomplete list, but I've found some spots early on and mentioned on the Steam forum at <a href="https://steamcommunity.com/app/927250/discussions/0/2673381715698927726/#c796712960596642371" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="steamcommunity.com/app/927250/discussions/0/2673381715698927726/#c796712960596642371"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">steamcommunity.com/app/927250/</span><span class="invisible">discussions/0/2673381715698927726/#c796712960596642371</span></a></p><p>Tip no.2: <br>Steam version appears to be DRM-tied. Google Play does not: <a href="https://thebrainbin.org/m/auster_info_dumps/p/632443" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="thebrainbin.org/m/auster_info_dumps/p/632443"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thebrainbin.org/m/auster_info_</span><span class="invisible">dumps/p/632443</span></a><br></p>
