Swordcery

What do you get when you take swords you add more swords then even more swords and multiply that by a billion you get swordcery the ultimate sword rougelite adventure but first i wanna give a huge thank you to Temple Door Games for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

Swordcery is an action rougelite with a heavy focus on swords of all styles shorts swords great swords duel swords rapiers and so on this game is the borderlands of swords and the name fits when you start discovering just how many swords you get to find and use during your runs.

So whats this game about well a giant sword drops out of the sky impaling itself into a mountain and then the world itself cause a catastrophic event and then the game begins.

So the game uses procedural generation for its world’s so not every forest level you start with is the same and trust me ive started out with quite a few since you know you die a lot each level is broken down into rooms that you clear and then choose a path to proceed each room has a different reward some offer relics others coins my favorite are the sword rooms cause you dont know what awesome sword you will get or what rarity as well.

Each level ends when you beat the boss and so far the forest boss is a hard fucker indeed as his attacks hit hard compare to the damage you do think dark souls but top down style.

Now this is a pc game but thankfully it lets you play with a controller which I highly recommend you use one since its easier to play with one in my opinion as the mouse and keyboard felt a bit complicated for my taste.

The game is fun it reminds me of games like returnal in the sense where you get one life and gotta complete the game in one life this adds a big challenge but eventually you do unlock and discover other stuff that helps you along the way i made it almost to the 4th world before i died but the swords I got to use the enemies I faced and the levels I visited all were amazing and so well done these devs really made an amazing game and i cant wait to see what gets added to the game down the road.

Swordcery is available on steam for 17.99 its not a demanding game so plenty of people will get to play it, again thank you to Temple Door Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated have a great day and game on.
