Wulverblade Reviews
Wulverblade is an excellent game. The mix of beat ‘em up with side-scrolling hack ‘n' slash creates a superb adventure that, added to its thrilling story and lovely artistic design, it stands as a great acquisition, even though it lacks long-term content.

Wulverblade is a simple game that brings well-known gameplay mechanics loved by many players, especilally those who love the 16-bit generation. The story of the campaign mode, despite being different, ends up giving the players an interesting historical overview.

Wulverblade can be finished in a few hours, but this retro beat ‘em up packs a punch. The presentation uses solid visuals and engaging sound as you push the ancient Roman army out of Britain. With multiple modes and difficulties, there is plenty of value here for anyone looking to swing a sword and cut your way to freedom. You might even learn a historical tidbit or two along the way.
This is certainly a beautiful game and Wulverblade was an enjoyable time despite the intense difficulty present.
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.
If you're itching to play a retro-inspired beat 'em up then you can't do much better than Wulverblade with its solid gameplay, high quality presentation, and rewarding replay value.
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.
With very few caveats, Wulverblade is an exceptional game that no genre fan should miss.
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.

Altogether, this is good enough to stand alongside the titles that inspired it.
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.
It's nothing hugely original, but Wulverblade certainly has heart and style.
Despite some issues Wulverblade ended up being a rather enjoyable beat 'em up wrapped in a great historical package.
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.
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 offers a decent amount of tactical play that is equal parts rewarding and refreshing
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
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.
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.
A decent side-scroller that echoes nostalgia, but with modern improvements.
