Stray Blade delivers a lot of content in its fantasy journey. While most of the game comes together well, key elements greatly hurt the core gameplay. But, if you are willing to weather these added struggles, this game has some rewarding exploration and combat to deliver to gamers.

In conclusion, Stray Blade offers a certainly interesting setting and a noteworthy plot, strong in good lore and skillful handling of the two main protagonists. What is not convincing, however, is a gameplay that is sometimes far too cumbersome due to some technical stumbling blocks. These criticisms aside, the work is nonetheless good and succeeds in being a well-assembled genre mix. Farren West and Boji's story convinced me.

Looking a little different than your usual Souls-like isn't enough to make Stray Blade worth checking out.
