“Blades of Vengeance is a sharp cart that has a little something for everyone: It's part hack-n-slash, part adventure game, and part RPG all rolled up into one side-scroller.”
“A very welcoming historical strategy with excellent in-game maps etc. However, the enthralling storyline doesn't create enough fun to last for very long.”
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits well above the middle. The European loose cart usually costs about the same as the US one, while a complete European copy usually costs a little more. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
