🔶 DOOMBLADE is a pretty unique metroidvania, explore your world and unlock new ability 🔶

Great graphics, unique atmosphere and really nice design.

Gameplay is pretty nice and really unique, your character jump is really low, so you get higher by attacking your enemies with your blade, with new unique ability to unlock (attack enemies behind wall, a dash button …)

Some areas are set for boss battle, with unique pattern to follow, or close area for arena battle again many enemies …

A huge world to explore, for around 8-10 hours of gameplay

Unfortunately, the game have 2 mains problems :
- Way too much backtracking with your new ability, and easy to get lost without a soluce guide / walkthrough
- Really poorly optimized, having a i5, 2Go VRAM, 8 Go RAM and clearly that not enough for it, really long loading time (1-2 mins loading even on a SSD), and the game often crash (infinite loading) after dying on my side.

Overall, DOOMBLADE is a really unique metroidvania, but only recommended for good config because of a poorly optimized game

💚💚💚 :

- Great base & unique gameplay
- Huge content to explore

❌❌❌ :

- Too much backtracking with no aid of where to go after an new ability get.
- Badly optimized (way too much loading time, even if installed on a SSD)
