Beautiful game with kind of a mediocre game loop. From the hour or two I played, nothing really changes other than enemy design, but those enemies still approach you with similar patterns, so the variety isn't really there to hold my attention for very long.

Damm this game is gorgeous!
I’m absolutely in love with the art style and VFX that Bleak Sword DX offers. Some of the levels offer particularly superb visual design such as the lightning effects, fires and moving sceneries while on horseback.
Unfortunately I can’t say the same for gameplay which is a little bland and overstayed it’s welcome. I found combat was particularly shallow and doesn’t offer any variety except for some consumables that give you a pro & con for the single combat encounter.
Bleak Sword DX is definitely worth checking out for the visual achievements alone but I would suggest waiting for a steam sale as gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.

The artstyle is raw as hell, but the game is not for me.

Pretty fun game, but you fairly quickly meet all enemies, resulting in the game feeling easier as you progress. If you're looking for a tough as nails experience, this isn't it.

Bleak Sword DX hat nicht nur spaßiges und forderndes Gameplay zu bieten, sondern verpackt das in eine Kombination aus Minimal-Pixel-Sprites, schöner Dioramen und schicker Effekte, die ich so bisher noch nicht gesehen habe. Der Arena-Modus bietet auch nach der etwa drei- bis vierstündigen Story noch Spielspaß und wenn man Bock hat, kann man im Remix der Kampagne einfach die Story noch mal durcheinandergewürfelt spielen.

Great look with some solid music. Unfortunately, the absolutely brutal gameplay is just not worth it.
