-Synopsis-
ArcheBlade is a free-to-play multi-player action fighting game in which players take sides and fight against one another in real-time. The title is inspired by arcade fighting games and multi-player FPS games, providing both the special moves and combos found in an arcade fighting game as well the team play and strategy found in an FPS game.


-Gameplay-
In this game, you have many hours of fun and action. With few gametypes to play such as Free for all and Team Play you can chose how you would like to play the game. I personally would recommend the map The Bridge for 5v5 Fights, or if you are more of a lone wolf and love Free for All with no teams. Play on the map Naga's Pit, I prefer this map because its not extremely huge but is good if you are just starting the game. Then you can move on to maps like The Altar and such.
If you are just starting to play [Which most of you are probably], Play the tutorial for your free in-game money [MECETA] & GEM's. This is used to unlock 1 (or two) Characters of your choice but don't worry! You get to try all of them in the Training section so you can decide who you would like to buy. You use your GEM's to buy in-game costumes [Skins] for your character, or you can use GEM's or MECETA to buy Armor, Accessories, Weapons, Items to make your character even more powerful against your opponents.


-Story-
The story of the game Archeblade is based off a Korean Novel with the title "Arche Blade" which was written by Jung-Hoon Hong. The attempt to achieve world dominance which was lost to humans, Elves were beginning to practice forbidden arts of sorcery, but instead released Massaerath into the world [The Empress of Darkness] in which using her powers of magic wiped out the elven civilization. This caused Barbarians, Snowmen from the north, and giants to form what is known as the 'Queens Land.' The queens land is the most powerful nation in the north, and also threatens safety to Tiseira.

Massaerath continued her her phase of destruction killing elves and consuming over their nations. The major goal in this was to rule over Tiseira. No one could stop her expansion in the west. So it was at this time.

Now the bravest and the toughest warriors have been recruited from every corner of the seven states. Together they delivered a destructive blow to the barbarians following Massaeraths reign. Ambitions of the Princess of Darkness perishing, the Seven warriors from the seven's league come together to protect themselves from Massaeraths northern state.


-Graphics-
The graphics of this game is something that impressed me personally. The looks of the World and Characters just simply amazing. I would say the style of this would most likely be references to a Realistic-Fantasy world. This game was created in the Unreal Engine and most of the games I play have decent graphics when they come out of the Unreal Engine. Saying most computers could probably run this game at least around Medium graphics so recommending to you players, if you are into the toon game look and 3D world action games like this, this is a good recommendation for you.
:!: [Note my computer has settings on the highest graphics settings. The picture is not full quality of in-game graphics] :!:

-Controls-
There are many different ways to play this game. First I want to get down with the basic controls. Your basic controls are obviously simple, Left clicking on your mouse if your primary attack, right clicking is your secondary [Sometimes more powerful] attack. Moving your mouse around changes your view on the map, so you can look behind, beside, in front of you. So this makes it harder for you to get attack from your backside or have someone sneak up on you from a corner. You can also use this to your advantages by looking around corners before you run out and risk a fight you can't win. Your default bindings to walk/move are keys W,S,A,D such as move foward [W], backward [S], left [A], and right [D] (Very many PC Gamers should be familiar with).Your F ability is your characters active skill, when you get enough RP to use it. [Basically like Mana for you players playing games where it is called that.] Your Shift key is binded to your special ability, there is a yellow bar in game, when that is full you can activate your characters special skill by holding it down, so like the character Valle [Shift] is her sprint and the Character Ridika [Shift] is flight (She can fly.) Every character has their own special like this.


-System Requirements-

-Extra Information-
There is currently 30 Achievable ranks in the game (1-30.) Servers that have 1-100 as their level cap. That just means EVERYONE can join. But knowing the level cap for servers are as high as 100, the developers are most likely going to be adding more levels once the player amount increases.

You can check out the launch trailer if you would like.



-Rating-
My final rating for Archeblade is: 9/10. Highly recommend giving it a try.

Great review man! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Wish I had a computer that could run this as I'd definitely give it a go especially considering it is free to play.
