Users control one of several characters, each with a strong personality based on the fantasy novel ‘Archeblade’. Which character will you choose based on various attacking styles? Will you prefer to fight with a gun, a sword, a hammer, a scythe or a magic bullet? It’s your call.[/quote] [b]Key Features:[/b] [quote]MULTIPLAYER FIGHTING GAME Users can choose from various characters, each with a strong and distinctive profile. Each character uses their own style of weapons and skills. Archeblade supports up to 7vs7 battle for now. Cooperate with your friends against other opponents.

FREE TO PLAY Archeblade is free to play! Don’t hesitate to invite your friends over the battle. More friends, more fun.[/quote] Media: Gameplay demonstration [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwuAhzzcPog[/media] Current roster of characters: [img]http://i.imgur.com/jVXHs2f.png[/img] [b]Every single character in that picture is playable except the 2 "Coming soon"[/b] [b]READ THIS FOR MY OWN SUMMARY:[/b] so this is an okay game. gives a nice diversity amongst the characters so that they all don't play the same way. HOWEVER, the downside is that any character you don't have unlocked you have to buy with fucking [b]REAL MONEY[/b]. that's right, these guys are asking you to give them [b]$2-$5[/b] a character along with having cosmetic skins in the shop. the game modes are quite nice though, there's free for all, 3v3 (team deathmatch), 4v4 (last man standing), 7v7 (control points), and 1vall which i have no idea what this is about but i assume it's sort of like a king of the hill game mode.

It's fun, it reminds me of a MOBA in the sense that it's focused on team play and characters have distinct strengths and weakness. (Well the lady that looks like Miss Fortune from LoL does anyway) The things I don't like about the game: Seemingly no "progression" or unlocking system. Characters can only be unlocked with real money. Not much gameplay depth? The maps I played don't accommodate for very complex tactics and the characters themselves are pretty straightforward. The character design: [img]http://imgkk.com/i/npx-.png[/img] Enough said. But otherwise it's not bad but sorta easy: [thumb]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7548755/2013-03-30_00002.jpg[/thumb]

the best character is dick because he's a dwarf with a shotgun. also because his name is dick and his skin is pink dick with dick censored so it's pink d**k.

I have a GunZ feel about this immediately

Funny you mention that because I initially wanted to play this because I was hyped up that GunZ 2 was coming out and I wanted to play something similar while I wait.

the guy in the center of the character select is pretty ridiculous. his start up time on his attack animations are fast and if you get hit once you're done since if you don't have a character that can teleport you're pretty much gonna get stuck in an endless stunlock loop until you die. oh yea he also has a skill that renders him invulnerable for a few seconds.

I really wanted to play this but the whole buying characters really put me off Then I realised it was dirt cheap and now im giving it a try.

also they're planning on implementing a progression system and currency sometime later on

Will you be able to purchase characters with the in-game currency once it's out or will it be only with real money forever?

i have no idea, all the guy said was "items" so i would assume characters. i guess the "pay money to unlock characters" right now is just a way to get people to support the developers because there aren't that many cosmetics or purchasable things right now.

I guess. I'm a lot less likely to keep playing this if you can only get characters with real money. It would be like if LoL had a bigger free champion rotation but you could only buy champions with RP.
