Tip with minor defects

Blades of Time (video game)

Customer Review

The game combines skillfully some playful elements from different games. Overall, it could probably be a mixture of God of War and Alice: Madness Returns will be seen.
I have now played the game for about 6 h (solo campaign) and think that I could make myself an adequate picture for a review. So far I had in mind to draw a lot of fun with Ayumi through the land.
The game has quite great potential, but is hampered by minor shortcomings.

Turning first to the things probably well successful:

Control:
Just as in Alice or GOW you have to fight his way free. Sometimes you can magic, firearms and a Time-return mode to use, so you can perform a variety of combinations. As so often, however, use is made quickly his favorite and leaves the other options in mind. Control transfers overall pretty good (quite intuitive) of the hand and it has quickly become accustomed.

Graphics:
The game is not comparable to a GOW3. Should it but probably not. It is total but quite beautiful to look at. Small graphical glitches I noticed though, have but do not bother. The character models are nicely designed.

Gameplay:
In the story, I will not go into great. Just this: You are a treasure hunter and travels through different worlds. All are different and beautiful to look at. Socks off the story a not skin, but really bad I do not find it as well. It's ok overall.
In addition to the numerous battles (Boss fights) there is both to solve some puzzles, as well as climbing. Is thus provided for guests. In addition, you can go on a treasure hunt and also find hidden items / notes using a compass. The AI is quite strong, so you feel all right demanded on the difficulty "normal".

Now to probably the biggest drawbacks:

Synchronization / Sound:
Once again a big problem. As in other titles (such as Space Marine) is the voice and lip movement away from synchronicity (Videos). If the a particularly strong disturbs, you should not access better. There are videos, there is quite well done, but mostly it's completely wrong. The setting itself seems emotionless.

Gameplay AI:
The AI will occasionally (not too often) hang on doors or the like, so that they can be easily turned off.

Framerate:
Occasionally there will be minor framerate drops (usually in the videos so that they look a bit hackelig). One can live with it.

Because of the low purchase price and high game fun I had in spite of the smaller defects, I rate this game with 4 stars.

*** Addendum:
Campaign: 10 chapters, about 8-9h season
