It bravely throws its shurikens of ambition but ends up barely hitting anything. Within the Blade constantly reminds me of many other better games. However these comparisons are always to its detriment.
WITHIN THE BLADE SWITCH FULL
It’s a modern retro experience, full of coin collecting and platforming stages, and maybe the best comparison I can make is to Sabotage Studio’s The Messenger. It feels a little like a fast and ultra-violent Shinobi, or maybe even closer to the recent Katana Zero with a little dash of stealth in the mix. Within The Blade is a 2D side-scrolling ninja slash-em-up with ambitions of stealth. Real Ninja mind, not Fruit Ninja, or Corporate Ninja. Logo and naming gripes aside, if there’s one thing that has me coming back to viddy games time and time again, it’s Ninja. It’s almost impossible to read the word Blade, and the game ends up looking like it’s now called ‘Within The’. A title and logo change hasn’t helped much because that new logo (see above) really does not do what the designers probably wanted.
WITHIN THE BLADE SWITCH SERIES
I assume it was changed due to it being cumbersome and too close to that other series called something like, I don’t know, SHINOBI, which has been around since the late eighties, and was also pretty heavily pixelated. That name is still all over its Steam page. Let’s start with some fun trivia: Within the Blade was previously titled Pixel Shinobi: Nine Demons of Mamoru – bet you didn’t know that. More details and official release dates following soon.ĭuring the PAX West long weekend we’re also going to be appearing at The MIX (The Media Indie Exchange) where you can come along and play the game (plus many others!) at this fantastic free event.Within The Blade is a 2D ninja slash-em-up for fans of Katana Zero or The Messenger, but it struggles under the weight of comparison.
WITHIN THE BLADE SWITCH WINDOWS 10
Wulverblade is still coming to Steam, Xbox One, PS4 and Windows 10 Store and they’ll be releasing very shortly afterwards. Rest assured though, its going to be here VERY soon. It all depends on the age rating, certification processing time etc. Our official release date isn’t set in stone but it will be either the end of September or early October. The game is 100% complete now and we’re just doing the final bug testing. So if you’re at PAX West in Seattle this weekend you’ll be able to come along and play the game on the Switch for the first time ever! Come see us!!!!! Both Evan and myself (Mike) will be there for the full event from Friday 1st until Monday 4th. Nintendo wanted to announce the news to tie in with the big PAX West event where you can come along and play the game along with many other great titles at the Nindie Arcade on level 3 of the convention centre. Nintendo have just announced us officially in the Nintendo Showcase! We’ve been so excited about this news for ages now and have been sworn to secrecy. If you’ve had your hands on a Switch or already own one you’ll be able to appreciate just how perfect the device is for Wulverblade. We’ve been quiet for TOO long and with good reason, we are now on the brink of release! And the big news is that we’re launching on the incredible Nintendo Switch first! We are overjoyed!
