Blade of Acrimony

[h1]A game with some amazing ideas, interesting lore, and wonderful custom art held back by some poor design choices and execution. Attentive dev who is STILL trying to improve the weak points. Recommended.[/h1] https://youtu.be/l0Kzo9LGzSk https://youtu.be/cwaSS49gXt8 In Blade of Acrimony, you play as Sora, a young woman who finds a cursed sword (which is actually a fallen angel being punished) in the forest. The sword convinces her that it is a physical representation of her God, and that all the world is full of sinners and it is her charge to make sure they get into heaven. How, you may ask? In the most literal sense: you need to kill the sinners to ‘save’ them. And on that, I love how when you attack it says ‘save’ instead of fight. Nice touch. There is a lot I can say about the combat, but many negative aspects have already been addressed by the developer as I live-streamed it, and after the fact as we both discussed certain things that worked and did not. SO I will o...

Played a demo for this a while ago and for whatever reason it popped into my head yesterday. Curious to see it's progress I googled it and saw it was finished. So I bought it, beat it and here's what I thought of it. The mechanics were pretty interesting. You cannot grind resources in this game so you have to defeat enemies with whatever you currently have, and most enemies are more powerful than you. Luckily your character has an arsenal of status effect moves to level the playing field. Blinding, paralyzing, silencing, and so forth. These moves cost MP which you regain by attacking, being attacked, and blocking. So the heart of the game is building up enough mp to use one of your game changing moves before getting killed. It's an interesting system with a lot of potential but a big problem is that blocking is the fastest and safest way of gaining MP. So you barely have to pay attention to what the enemy is doing since your always blocking. I beat the final boss by blocking and using...

Hey people from Steam, Sea Raider here with a new review. Today I have something special to review, a game from a member of the RPG Community instead of an old game, so let’s go. Blade of Acrimony is a JRPG styled game with LOADS of symbolism and using delusion and insanity as a main subject. You play as Sora Loyalar, a nice Christian girl that by some coincidence found an evil sword that is actually a fallen angel reduced to a possessed sword. The game itself takes a nice twist on the “remove all evil” plot and the Sword makes use of this; by making Sora think the sword God via curing her wounds and gifting her armor. Your first encounter is the poor dog you have adopted (that would make Dio proud) because “God” keeps telling to Sora that the dog is a sinful soul. Sora after killing the poor dog, she’s then guided to her next target, and so you go on your crusade. The gameplay is fantastic, the normal attack is standard but the way you use your movements is what leads...

The pace of the story could use some work, but overall the game was awesome. I loved the story despite a few cringy parts here and there. I felt like Luca Blight from Sukioden 2 when I was chopping up groups of well meaning heros. I bought this game when it was on sale, but it isnt worth 10$, more like 5 or 3$.

I love this game. I like games where the character is an anti-hero or straight out villain with challenging gameplay and great art, music, characters, and story. This is a great game and I hope Frostnoble makes more like this one :D I haven't finished the game and it's been 2 hours so it's not a short game at all which makes it much better than many of the super short games in this genre :)

It sure is

Really fun game, nice and dark with a really fun, challenging combat system. The gameplay is really solid, with a decent progression curve and there's only one move that becomes kinda redundant late game, the rest are all situationally really useful. It really encourages you to think about every move you make, and I really got engrossed in playing it. Boss fights feel really epic too, with really rad soundtrack! Plot wise, I'd say it's pretty good overall. The initial leap from the protag being a harmless nun to a cold-blooded killer does require a bit of suspension of disbelief, but the way her character changes over the course of the game is really interesting to watch. There's a cool amount of lore and the characters are interesting to interact with. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this game. For the price you're paying, you're getting a fun, challenging, deliciously dark experience with a soundtrack that I would honestly pay to get. (On that note, creator, if you were to pu...
