Best game of the week
Bladed Fury
Initially released in 2018, Bladed Fury is a stylish 2D platformer that leans heavily on hack and slash gameplay. Comparisons to Muramasa: The Demon Blade aren’t uncommon, though Bladed Fury offers a Chinese theme based around the country’s history and mythology. It’s a short game that clocks in at a little over three hours to complete the primary campaign, with seven hours of content for completionists. Luckily the Android port is only $5, half the price of the $10 Steam version, and much cheaper than the $20 Nintendo Switch version. So yeah, if you’re looking for an excellent hack and slash platformer that offers gorgeous art, enjoyable gameplay, and controller support out of the box, Bladed Fury is hands-down the best game released this week.
