    This game is just a joke. I felt like the game designer haven't played a decent game from decades. It's just so basic and messy. The only barrely decent point is the caracter design, yes, they got boobs...

    I honestly find this game really interesting, but gameplay is not good enough, lag will make you miss a lot of hits, aiming doesnt feels good also.

    Cool graphics and sound by the way, but as said before, not good enough, not enjoyable.

    Overview:
    -Unbalanced roster where some characters can execute very easy 100% health combos, while others can only achieve 20%.
    -Very clunky game play that's more infuriating than fun. -P2W cash shop, even though they advertised it wasn't (Items have stats attached to them, and some items can only be bought with real money). Aesthetics: -Music is very generic rock you'd expect.    Overview:

    There is a lot going for this game, but it falls short in every aspect.

    There is no matchmaking and too many servers for the number of players. About 70% of your game time will be spent finding a game and waiting for people to join your server. There are also sever balance issues.

There are also sever balance issues. Some characters are very weak and slow while other characters move fast and can kill you with just a few hits.

    Then there is the lag issues. This one is all on the game's system. I can never find a server with less then 40 ping. Not a big issue until you realize that only about 5 to 10 servers are below 75 ping (all of which are full or empty). You will also have random disconnects.

    Finally, there is the character variety. 14 characters in total, each with a unique play style. This is good, but you have to buy characters with in-game credits. You start off with enough cash for 2. If you choose characters that are hard to play with or you don't like, too bad. you must now earn enough credits to unlock another fighter, which takes an arbitrary amount of time. With only a few characters available, the game gets stale in a short time.

    The worst part about this game is the fact that it has the potential to be an amazing experience. Unique gameplay, lots of cool characters, awesome levels. But due to the poor design, it is punishing and unfair. Hopefully the designers fix the problems, but until then, don't waste your time.    … Expand

    Archeblade feels fresh and interesting at first but it soon degrades into a crazy melee of characters jumping around and attacking as clunky animations prevent the game from really capturing what is so unique about it. Overall it’s hard to recommend a game that feels so lacking, both in terms of quantity and quality.
