Sword of the Black Stone

Joke reviews aside, this game is much more buggier/harder to play than it might seem (if you attempt to play it casually) due to serious issues with bugs or the game's general design. Examples include: - The game failing to indicate to the player where they need to go in order to progress - Glitches that have become prominent for speedrunning (such as letting go of forward when a text box appears on-screen) can lead to the player's character frustratingly no-clipping out of bounds and plunging to her death - Saving only saves which level you are on (which means that, when you continue from the main menu, you start at the beginning of the map rather than where you left off) - ...and - probably the most game-breaking issue - sometimes the game won't even bother to load level/puzzle-critical items (such as the second level, which is supposed to be a box-pushing puzzle, but on my first play-through the game didn't even bother to spawn the boxes, leaving me stumped on my first play-through...

this game is totally unplayable. but damn. what a piece of art.

As a connoisseur of Zelda games I would have to say that this is my favorite one in the entire series. If you are thinking about picking this game up, please by all means let it slide right into your Steam library.

It is very video game. You can play it on your computer.

If you're looking to clip through walls and get migraines from midi flutes, then Sword of the Black Stone is for you

I love this game. All of my girlfriends live inside it.

Possibly the most fun I've had with a one-star game. A fantastic use of your time. I got to the end, tho I have no idea how to beat this game legitimately.

Best game 10/10

I had reviewed this before, but I wanted to give it another shot, without being as mean-spirited. This game seems to walk the line between "So bad it's good" and "The clunkiest game I've ever paid for". I'll be 100% honest, I had to use exploits and glitches to get through the game. Pause sliding (which ignores collision) is very easy once you figure it out and it can save a lot of time, as well as keeping the blaster's hitbox active while not using it. I'm a sucker for these kinds of games. They have a certain charm to them, and this one has sated my craving for it. If you're also looking for something akin to this, go right ahead, but do keep in mind the things that follow. [b]In this next section, I will be much more critical, so keep that in mind. I'll try to be as constructive as possible.[/b] The story is not something to write home about. It's trope-y and, when coupled with the art style, the influence anime has on it is very apparent (Which in itself isn't a bad thing, but ...

Its not great. But you know what, the creator probably had 100x more fun putting it together than I did playing it. So I guess they have the last laugh, huh?
