Stray Blade is out NOW here: https://bit.ly/PeonStrayBlade

This is the follow up video to my Stray Blade first impressions which I released a few days ago, in this video you’ll see me complete the game and give my full review pros and cons list at the end.
For those of you that missed the previous video though Stray Blade is a single player souls lite game, the reason I call it souls lite rather than soulslike is that it does many things that are fundamentally different to soulslike games for example, the progression system is completely different, there’s no attributes that you level, you can use every weapon effectively in a single run without needing to make a build, when you die you don’t drop souls, you gain EXP and level up in a linear fashion like a typical RPG and there’s no bonfires that you rest at to reset your health and spawn enemies, all that being said though It’s the gameplay of Stray Blade that’s most likely to appeal to soulslike fans as the game uses a timing based parry and dodge system, satisfying finishers and all the challenges you’d want and expect from a Soulslike.

In my previous first impressions video I played for about 4 hours, killed 2 bosses and had a rather mixed opinion about the game at the end of it, so here we’ll pick up from where we left off and see if my pros and cons list for this full review differs from the first impressions.
Stray Blade is available on Steam, Epic, Xbox Series X/S and Playstation 5

What do you think about Stray Blade so far? is this a great new addition to the soulslike sub genre or does it still have a few things to improve upon with future updates? let me know in the comments below!

Stray Blade 2023 Soulslike RPG Steam Description

Prove yourself in this action-adventure and master intense combat while exploring the ancient ruins of a mysterious civilization. Legends tell of Acrea the Lost Valley, a wild and overgrown place but unmistakably powerful. You found this forgotten land yet died. Time passes, and miraculously you are brought back to life. The price you pay: You are bound to this land.

Get ready to explore a world that is constantly altered by your discoveries and the waging forces! Set off for an unforgettable adventure.

Embark on an unforgettable journey and discover the story of Acrea and its ancient legacy. Discover the whole history that turned the peaceful valley into a place of war and death. Use this knowledge to destroy the relics of the past and restore peace in the war-torn valley.

Change is part of your journey where every victory leaves a mark in the world. Time keeps moving forward even if you die. Revisit the places of former victory and experience the changes you brought to the world. But beware! Your actions will lead to even greater challenges.

The hyper-responsive combat system allows quick reactions and precise attacks to fully control the flow of battle. It merges strategic anticipation of enemy attacks with split-second blade-to-blade reactions — the High Noon of melee weapon combat.

Encounter the God-Kings that ruined the land in the past. Bring their legacy to fall and free the land from the shadows of the old era. Harvest their powers and use them to unravel the mysteries of Acrea. New domains are waiting to be unlocked.

Both the adventurer and Boji have individual talent trees. The Adventurer is a fighter who gains experience through battle, whereas Boji is a craftsman who increases his experience by finding pieces of ancient lore.

Acrea’s colorful world ranges from overgrown city ruins to frozen caves and winding canyons. Together with your companion, explore the deepest corners of an ever-changing world bristling with adventure. Every discovery holds treasures. Find rare materials, recipes, weapons, lore pieces, and beautiful places.
