A lesson that covers the fundamentals of fighting is the first step on your path to becoming a blade master. While a little plot is told, the main focus of Naraka: Bladepoint is the combat. You learn the three fundamental fighting maneuvers—common assaults, focus strikes, and counterstrikes—during the introduction. Additionally, you learn how to avoid assaults, climb almost anything, and execute amazing aerial feats with the grappling hook.
Furthermore, the tutorial instructs you on how to use magical combat maneuvers to your advantage while fighting. They also demonstrate how to shoot a bow. However, as I already said, it becomes evident very soon that using ranged weapons in Naraka: Bladepoint will not win you fights.
This game's movement is smooth and natural. It takes just a few seconds to get from the ground to a rooftop. It takes just a second to use a grappling hook. It's a lot of fun to just explore the area and climb structures. It's more flexible and agile than Assassin's Creed, in my opinion.
The first conflict
It is easy to understand the fundamentals of Naraka: Bladepoint . You have a choice of solo and trio modes to begin with. In a battle royale, sixty players converge on a legendary island to engage in combat until only one team or individual remains. By filling your first few games with bots, the game does an excellent job of easing you into the battle royale style. This provides you with a gradual approach to get acquainted with looting, understand the different map features, and engage in combat practice.
But as soon as you play with a quality player for the first time, you'll realize that the fundamentals are insufficient. There is a lot of complexity to the movement and fighting in Naraka: Bladepoint . When engaging in blade-to-blade combat, you have a plethora of tactics at your disposal to outmaneuver your opponents and move more quickly. You can deflect concentration blows, leap over horizontal slashes, and dodge to the side to escape vertical assaults. I won't go into detail about every interaction that occurs during fight, but let me just state that almost everything has a counter. And for that reason, Naraka: Bladepoint is quite interesting.
Misty peak high is the skill ceiling. Learning a lot of knowledge is necessary to become an expert combatant in Naraka: Bladepoint. You presently need to master six melee weapons, six ranged weapons, and seven heroes. I say this because the only certain method to beat enemies you face is to recognize their hero and weaponry before you attack. Using any character or weapon—especially the melee weapons—feels incredibly distinct. Every melee weapon can execute a few different combinations in addition to a variety of focus strikes. Being aware of impending threats puts you in a strong position to fend them off.
A mysterious and beautiful land
Thankfully, you can't immediately drop into combat royale mode in Naraka: Bladepoint and hope to live. Another option is to give The Bloodbath a go. In this deathmatch-style game, you may engage in endless combat and death. It's ideal for learning about the operation of weapons and heroes. I would strongly advise trying it out before entering the battle royale.
If you like Asian mythology and landscapes as much as I do, you will adore the visual style of Naraka: Bladepoint. The island of Morus is stunning and has a variety of landscapes. Furthermore, the lighting design by 24 Entertainment encourages you to just take in the surroundings and forget about the conflict going on all around you.
To just a few, there are expansive fields, rough hilly areas, a charming temple, and an opulent mansion. Every region has its own distinct vibe and compels you to battle in a different way. In an open field, for example, there is no simple method to escape your opponent. On the other hand, if you're in the palace or on a cliff, you may take use of the verticality to break line of sight and quickly seek shelter or heal.
In addition, those who are committed enough to search for them will be rewarded with secrets strewn over the landscape. There are pre-game treasure hunts that may net you Tae (the in-game cash) or Spectral Silk (the cosmetic manufacturing ingredient), as well as secret chambers full of treasure and money.
Since the beta, my main complaint with Naraka: Bladepoint has been constant. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, your game may lag. This might kill you if you're in the midst of a battle. It's only irritating if you're pilfering. The problem should be fixed by the developer's primary emphasis. Should it fail to do so, the gamers will bear the consequences.
There are rewards along the way for you.
The in-game rewards system of Naraka: Bladepoint is very fulfilling. You may advance your account and gain cosmetics in a variety of ways. Character leveling allows you to access prizes and ability modifications. Weapon Proficiency is earned via continued usage of a weapon and awards you with Tae and weapon-specific customizations. The best way to learn the game is to sample different heroes and weapons, which these two systems promote and reward.In addition, completing tasks and challenges will increase your Tae, which you can spend to upgrade your Glyphs and buy cosmetics. Glyphs are a whole other story, but all you really need to know about them is that they let you give your characters somewhat varied abilities.
You will also get Spectral Silk, the crafting money, as you play. This may be used to create a wide variety of cosmetics, from simple and inexpensive to intricate and expensive. Additionally, there's a battle pass that showers you with goodies. It's amazing.
Naturally, in order to access cosmetics in the game, you may also use real money. Moreover, a few of them are stunning. But after you pay the first purchase to get the game, you will be good without spending a dime. Regarding that, I believe that the fact that Naraka: Bladepoint is not a free-to-play game will prevent it from reaching its full potential. To find out whether they love the game, many gamers won't be prepared to take a risk on the cost. It's unfortunate because I believe a lot of people who would like it will never get to utilize it.
In summary
Battle Royale game Naraka: Bladepoint is very good. Melee combat is now tactically sound, rewarding to learn, and exciting thanks to 24 Entertainment's excellent work. It will need several hours to get proficient in. That's what you want in a battle royale game, which is a repeating genre. You want to believe that you're continuously learning new things and that you're always becoming better.It's delightful, like I said, to navigate the map like a ninja. In a one-on-one match, defeating an opponent will give you a sense of genuine accomplishment. I like that there are sophisticated techniques like animation canceling, which expedites healing and looting, and tech chasing, which enables you to hit an opponent while they're still recovering from a knockdown, to help you become even better.
There are, nonetheless, a few instances in which the gameplay seems uncomfortable. For example, if you find yourself in a tight spot. You're left looking at a wall since the camera is unable to capture all that is happening. However, I may be more to blame for it than the game. Most of the gaming systems are well-organized and simple. I don't understand the benefit of having to fix my weapons all the time, and I found it frustrating. They may take this away and force you to reload your ranged weaponry.
Combat in Naraka: Bladepoint is harsh yet gratifying, especially if you appreciate swordplay in the vein of Dark Souls or Sekrio: Shadows Die Twice . Considering the combination of parkour mobility and magical skills, this battle royale is a really compelling game to invest your time and effort in. I find that I'm even more ready to go back in and try again after every battle that I lose.
I've prepared a beginner's guide full of advice and pointers if you're new to Naraka: Bladepoint. It will help you get started and advance.
