Just finished played thru, twice. (First time it crashed just after I read the book to find a secret passage.) As advertized, it is a really short play-thru. I didn't try the visual filters, yet, but I am curious to do so. Pros: I really enjoy the look of the game. It feels unique. Things I'd like to see: - More interactable items. I was really sad when I couldn't smash a crate, break a jar, or loot a chest. - Some kind of inventory, so I can choose between Shield/Sword or 2-hander without running back to last loot spot. - Fighting was sluggish. Seemed like stamina drain was not in sync with attacks. So, I actually had less stamina than indicated. I noticed this when sprinting, also. - Fighting: blocking seemed to be in a complete 360 degrees. This reduced the effectiveness of my companion who always potitioned behind my target. I was tank, but she couldn't spank. I am very happy to support the Indie developers on Steam. This game, however, didn't deliver much for the price. It was about a 10 min play. I am hopeful more content will be released and my choice to support this title will be vindicated.
The First Chapter is more an Aplha. there are good ideas and freshness in it. The dev (understood there is only one) has been reactive and I shall wait for further developments. Please understand that the game (The First Chapter) is not worth your 5€ but it's a way to support the guy (Markus). You will finish the "quest" in 20/30 min without difficulty but at least there is no bug. Another point is that the FPS are no that good yet, with a medium PC I got 50 fps in game (usually 100 fps on CSGO on low). Let's buy the game to suppor the dev and wait for a new kind of game. This situation remind me the old time of the Witcher, Mount and Blade, small studios with fresh ideas.

[i]This game is very unique. It looks amazing due it's own style, the graphics/quality and overall is nice and the music/voice is also nice. This game has quite some potential if the developer is giving it a big push. Good game, overall a solid 8/10 for me. The developer as well is a very nice and kind person who's always willing to help and in for a nice chat. Great work! Here is a gameplay no commentary video: https://youtu.be/_GQv2b_R70A
Не вздумайте покупать эту пародию на игру. Единственная "ролевуха" что тут есть - возможность выстрелить пару стрел, от которых и проку нет. Про боевку вообще говорить не хочу. Продукт настолько сырой, что возникает ощущение, что его делали за неделю.
First of all I should mention that I once bought the game in an much earlier phase on itch.io where it’s no longer available. Therefore i lost access to the new updates and contacted the dev (Markus) to get another copy. He was very friendly and had no problem with providing a steam key. Its cool to have the game on steam now. Now for the Review: Bladequest - The First Chapter was, like the Dev said, developed to show what he is capable of and to create a foundation for feedback and new ideas. This means the game is quite short (one play through takes about 20 min) because you only got one quest. Although you can reach up to one hour if you play around with the color schemes (checkout "Supernatural", it was my favorite :D), difficulty settings and search for secrets (couldn't find anything yet :O). Even though this is a short experience, it is also a funny and challenging one (especially if you try to climb up the big statue in the second room ;) ). Mostly I liked the overall atmosphere, the amazing design and the high level of detail the dungeon had. The combat system works, but feels repetitive after some playthroughs, but as far as I heard there are some cool features planned in the future, like kicking and parrying. Especially looking forward to the kicking feature (always loved it in Dark Messiah :D). Also the options menu feels a bit clunky and my screen resolution isn’t available. I've read in another review that the FPS are bad and want to say two things about this: 1) With my low-to-mid-end system i got nearly constant 60 fps with very few drops ("ELEX" for example runs on lowest settings with 30 fps max). 2) As already said I played Bladequest - TFC in an earlier stage of development, where it runned at unstable 30 fps. Therefore I trust the dev when he tells to make it even more stable in the future. I just read the Newsletter Introducing the new Game and have to say: I'm really hyped for the new content shown and considering its only one dev, can’t believe how fast the game develops. Keep up the great work Markus, with me seeing this, i'm very sure my money was well spent.
[h1] Genre [/h1] Ein First Person Dungeon Crawler mit Rogue-like Elementen [h1] Story [/h1] Der König oder Dorfälteste wurde krank oder verflucht und nur ein Kristall kann ihn noch retten also machen wir uns gemeinsam mit seiner Tochter auf den Weg zu der verlassenen Festung um den Kristall zu suchen [h1] Gameplay [/h1] Der Story Modus steht bei diesem Spiel definitiv nicht im Fokus. Man kann die Story in gut 30-45 Minuten durchspielen, wenn nicht sogar noch schneller. Der Haupt Modus ist der Endless Mode. Hier müssen wir uns von Raum zu Raum gegen Skelette durchschlagen. Bewaffnet sind wir Anfangs mit einem schwachen Schwert & einem Bogen und können in den jeweiligen Boss Raum immer eine Random erzeugte Neue Waffe, Heiltränke & Pfeile finden. Es gibt nur Skelette als Gegner und auch der Boss ist immer ein Skelett. Der Einzige Unterschied sind die Waffen die sie führen. Das Spiel ist total verbuggt und stürzt in Regelmäßigen Abständen einfach ab. Das Gameplay ist leider Clunky wie verrückt. Man kassiert z.B. Damage auch wenn man Meilenweit vom Gegner entfernt ist. Hat der Gegner einmal zum Schlag ausgeholt, bringt es nichts zurückzuweichen denn man kassiert trotzdem den Schaden. Nur Abblocken hilft aber das kann man auch nicht die ganze Zeit weil Feinde unseren Block sofort durchschlagen und wir für weitere Angriffe offen sind. Ich habs bis Raum 22 geschafft und wurde vom Boss oder seinem Gehilfen einfach plötzlich geonehittet was sehr merkwürdig war. Danach hab ich es noch 4 mal probiert und das Spiel ist immer wieder an Random Orten abgestürzt, danach hatte ich keine Lust mehr es weiter zu versuchen [h1] Achievements [/h1] Es gibt insgesamt 11 Erfolge. Hierfür muss man den Story Mode beenden und im Endless Mode Raum 20 erreichen, 50.000 Gold einsammeln, 200 Skelette vernichten & Rang 1 im Leaderboard erreichen. Eigentlich alles ganz einfach wenn denn nicht die Abstürze die ganze Zeit wären [h1] Pro/Contra [/h1] + Achievements - Das Spiel stürzt in Regelmäßigen Abständen einfach ab - Das Gameplay ist total Clunky - Man kassiert Schaden auch wenn man weit vom Gegner entfernt steht [h1] Fazit [/h1] Es spielt sich wie eine Billige Version von Oblivion. Das Gameplay ist total Clunky und die Regelmäßigen Abstürze nerven einfach nur. In diesem Zustand ist das Spiel einfach unspielbar. Ich verstehe das es sich hierbei um einen Solo Entwickler handelt der auch am Anfang des Spiels sich bedankt, das man sein Spiel gekauft hat, was ja eine nette Geste ist, aber ich kann das Spiel in diesem Zustand einfach nicht Empfehlen 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑⠀⠀⠀[list][*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow Main group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40282064/] Follow Second group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44688798/] Follow third group [/url][/list]
Good concept; like the developer said it was short. Hope to see more in the future. I enjoyed the gameplay.
Well, the "Endless Mode" is definitely the strength of this game. Would recommend to play. Its now on sale, so check it out. You have to get used to the combat, so keep that in mind for you first play.
Interesting game that has a lot of potential , hope it gets more content
