Wulverblade is a classic style beat'em up game that deserves attention. Although the gameplay is highly repetitive, but the aesthetics of comic-style graphics and fast gorey fights, can truly spark an addiction. finally i must say that despite some issues that the gameplay has, Wulverblade is a worthy game to experience.

Wulverblade might not be the most innovative of titles, but what it does it does really well. This is everything you ever loved about the beat 'em up genre, put into one stylized little package. It doesn't reinvent the genre, or even really add anything new, but at the same time it doesn't really need to. Fans of the genre will love what this has to offer though, and it might even manage to draw some newcomers in as well. With some slick and enjoyable combat and a unique, interesting visual aesthetic, it is hard to not be immediately drawn in by Wulverblade. It really is a great title, so grab a sword and start slashing your way through medieval Britain.

Wulverblade's attempt to capture the past hold it back in some ways, But its excellent sense of mysticism, brutality, and craftsmanship overcomes most of its flaws.

Wulverblade is a good take on the classic brawler genre, telling a compelling story about bretons against roman army of the 9th Legion.

A decent side-scroller that echoes nostalgia, but with modern improvements.

Overall, Wulverblade is a pretty interesting game with classic action and a heavy helping of history, but it's also a game that is primarily for hardcore brawler fans who enjoy the pain of control issues and merciless gameplay. If that's not your cup of tea, you may want to look elsewhere.

Offering a classic arcade mode, and a story mode, Wulverblade has a little something for gamers of all types. Add in the educational bits as well as incredible sound design and you have a wonderful game wrapped up in a nice neat, bloody package.

Wulverblade is a nice looking beat 'em up with plenty of action and a nice challenge, especially during its boss fights. A lot of love went into making this game, as you'll notice when you check out all the information and lore for the weapons and settings used in the game

Wulverblade is a game about killing things in all sorts of manners, except on occasion your fallen enemies drop elegantly written pieces of history. The historical setting, the devotion to detail and colourful artstyle are sure to draw its share of fans, and the gameplay is also a perfectly functional modern reimagining of 80's era beat-em-ups. It is my dream that there forms a devoted fanbase who appreciate both of those things, but for now this is a game divided between two aims.

Wulverblade is a solid beat ’em up arcade title that is beautifully wrapped in pleasing aesthetics. It covers a well-trodden path seen in numerous games before, but it manages to deliver an experience that is still its own. The combat is satisfying, especially in terms of sound, but it is held back from being a more rewarding experience due to limiting control factors. Furthermore, the entertaining cooperative play completely forgoes online connectivity, meaning two people will have to play on one machine. Still, hindrances and all, there’s something enjoyable about Wulverblade’s loop that helps carry it through the somewhat short campaign.

It's nothing hugely original, but Wulverblade certainly has heart and style.

The two niggles I have about the game are that sometimes hit detection seems to be a tad off, and that items on the ground that are dropped by the enemies you defeat disappear too fast so you need to either focus on grabbing items as soon as they're dropped or on defeating all the enemies around you.

Altogether, this is good enough to stand alongside the titles that inspired it.

Wulverblade is not perfect, but it's difficult, art, design and its outstanding soundtrack manage very convincingly to take us back to those days at arcades.

There’s a lot of Wulverblade that I do like. It takes on a historical story with a serious demeanor, letting players learn as they complete the campaign. Its customizable gameplay experience caters to all types of players, even if the difficulty curve is a bit rocky. Its art style, while somewhat questionable, is an accomplishment in and of itself. Despite all that, Wulverblade is a video game, and the gameplay that is supposed to tie everything together falls flat. Unless you’re already sold on a history lesson, this beat ‘em up doesn’t do enough to justify itself over countless other arcade revivals.

A fine addition to the scrolling beat-'em-up genre. The story and its historic backdrop is interesting and the combat is meaty and fun. Arcade and arena modes will keep you coming back for more, as will co-op.
