    Die by the Blade falls short in delivering a truly engaging experience in the current state it is in. The developers have made a statement promising to put right its issues and include further single player modes to improve the package offering. It is an admirable position, but also a concerning trend in the industry today. Without a doubt, it is an interesting concept to bring back and modernise, but here it feels more like a missed opportunity than a modern successor to its classic inspiration. Perhaps one for the Cyberpunk 2077 or No Man's Sky treatment?

    Die by the Blade captures the essence of Bushido Blade with its lethal combat and limb-targeting mechanics, offering a unique blend of strategy akin to soulslike games, though it lacks key aspects of any combat style, such as depth and longevity. The game's realism in weapon-based combat shines through intense duels, yet its brief matches undermine strategic potential, and this, together with its lack of content, makes it hard to recommend.

    As of right now Die by the Blade feels like an early access title marked as a full-fledged release. There's a huge ways in which the game can be improved. Here's hoping that by the time of console ports developers will turn their project into something much better.
