Legend Of The Blade Masters [DC & PC UNRELEASED Action RPG!]

http://www.unseen64.net

"Essentially, Quest of the Blade Masters stays very similar to the original, the only difference being that the game can now be played online. According to Ripcord, this latest version will prominently feature the actual quest, with up to 8 players simultaneously online, with gameplay somewhat in the mold of Gauntlet Legends. Other online modes include multiplayer challenges like king of the hill, hidden key (like capture the flag), and last man standing.

The game's original creators, Ronin Entertainment, are also handling this latest updated network version. So, naturally, as the original was playable at the show, I took it for a quick spin. Running on the PC, the game controlled almost flawlessly, primarily using the mouse. But being an action RPG with a lot of running and direct fighting included, it should control even more seamlessly with the Dreamcast pad. Players walk around in open landscapes and as they happen to come up on overgrown rats, malicious creatures, and evil soldiers they can either choose to engage the enemy or run right by them.

There is one universal hand-to-hand attack and assorted spells at the player's command. As players come up to interactive items or enemies, appropriate menus pop-up to allow for easy decision-making on the fly. Otherwise, there is also a complex menu that shows a full list of items, learned spells, and the character's status -- there are 5 playable characters in all, each with their own unique weapons and abilities.

Quest of the Blade Masters, with full online multiplayer support, will be released for the Dreamcast in November 2000."

This game if released to DC it would make a difference because it had cross-platform online gaming between the DC and PC gamers. Thought the online mode was less RPG and a lot more action pointed.

comment was made a year ago...also, you don't need to see gameplay when the cg looks like ps1 graphics

[TechXMarine]

he probably said it because most of the stuff displayed on the ps1 was pre rendered

theres a distinct look that reminds me of playing games on the ps 1

take ff7 for example

[TheAbsintheReviewNet]

How can you say that when there's no gameplay shown?

[4PeacexDarkness]
