The developers have taken a very clever approach to combat combos, ensuring that it doesn’t rely heavily on extreme memorization. Instead, players can pre-set up to two combo chains in their character’s settings. By executing a preset combo chain, players only need to press the assigned ability button. However, this doesn’t mean that the game doesn’t require any reflexes at all. There are still plenty of opportunities for movement and agility through the dodge and parry maneuvers available. There are no automated or idle mechanics so the player will have to press every action they want to make in this game.

Phantom Blade: Executioners shares some similarities with souls-like games, featuring a high level of difficulty and a focus on reflexes and timed actions. The game offers four unique characters: Soul, ZuoShang, Mu, and The Chord, representing the Swordsman, Heavy Swordsman, Agile Swordswoman, and Ranged Support Hero classes respectively. Players have the ability to create and play each character separately on a single account.

Phantom Blade: Executioners is gearing up for its highly-anticipated release and is currently hosting a live open beta test from June 26 to July 10, 2023. Join in now to get a taste of the action-packed hack and slash gameplay before the official launch!

Way more forgiving and fun than I expected and I love it | Black Myth: Wukong Review

Black Myth: Wukong is an action-RPG rooted deeply in the 16th-century Chinese literary classic, Journey to the West. Players step into the fur of the "Destined One," a monkey warrior who bears a striking resemblance to the legendary Sun Wukong. The story isn't just a simple retelling; it’s a soulful journey where you retrace the footsteps of the original Monkey King, seeking to recover lost relics and perhaps reclaim a legacy that was shattered long ago. It’s a narrative-heavy experience, packed with cinematic flair and a deep reverence for its mythological roots.

Fully Embracing the Franchise's Split Personality | Resident Evil Requiem Review

Resident Evil Requiem throws you into a gorgeous, terrifying experiment that mashes the creeping, claustrophobic terror of the modern titles right up against the heavy-hitting, battle-tested action of the classics. It is a wildly ambitious juggling act that absolutely nails the moment-to-moment gameplay, even if it occasionally trips over its own feet trying to rush you to the finish line.
