  • Parte de un planteamiento que en la práctica no funciona tan bien como suena. ‘Die by the Blade’ es, para bien y para mal, un ‘Bushido Blade’ moderno sin la genialidad de los referentes en la lucha 3D.

  • If you're a hardcore fighting game fan who loves a challenge, then this is definitely worth checking out. But for casual players, it might be a bit rough around the edges right now. Maybe wait for an update or two before diving in.

  • A straightforward 1v1 samurai fighting game with very little content on its bones. Fine if you just want some quick and fun matches against friends, but there's not enough here to hold interest for long.

  • There are golden moments here, without a doubt. But Die by the Blade is burdened by issues that I fear will stand out for many casual players interested to try it out. But as the only modern fighting game to really approach this sub-genre of 3D one-strike action perhaps it'll find its audience. I'd recommend this to genre diehards and those who don't mind a lower budget title. For the average player, I'd give this a miss for now.

  • Solid core mechanics are not enough to make Die by the Blade the compelling spiritual sequel of the Bushido Blade series fans have been waiting for a long time. Bland character design, clunky animations, horrendously slow progression system, extreme lack of content and mediocre visuals are only some of the issues that mar an experience that is very difficult to recommend to anyone in its current state.

  • I really wanted to like Die By The Blade, but clunky controls, half-baked gameplay and a lack of content make this less a Dual of Fates and more a battle of attrition.

  • At its heart, Die By The Blade is an addictive and brutal swordplay dueller that will definitely appeal to those that like lightning-fast fights. But without any real narrative and a snail’s pace rewards progression, it falls short in what should feel like a full release title. Let’s hope time proves us wrong on this one.

  • Die by the Blade has a few good ideas in its sheathe, but ultimately it fails to generate any genuine excitement.

  • Die by the Blade al netto delle intenzioni e della realizzazione, non è mai riuscito a far breccia nel mio cuore a causa di una mancanza di contenuti che mi hanno portato poca voglia per continuare a giocarlo. Bella l’idea e l’omaggio, come anche la realizzazione, ma è un titolo su cui dopo un paio di ore, ci metterete una pietra sopra.

  • Die by the Blade mala potenciál stať sa kvalitnou súbojovou hrou, lebo má pevne základy, na ktorých sa dalo stavať a svojou hrateľnosťou mňa ako hráča nútila skúšať poraziť súperov znova a znova. Ale kvôli nedostatočnému prístupu zo strany tvorcov nemusí presvedčiť väčšinu fanúšikov súbojových hier, aby si hru kúpili za plnú sumu.
