As a melee-focused, multiplayer experience, Boreal Blade is sure to be a divisive experience. Some players will love the nuance of its freeform combat, revelling in the joy of the moment-to-moment swordplay. Others will be turned off by the steep learning curve which comes with mastering even the simplest of weapons. However, either group won’t appreciate the connectivity and matchmaking issues that affect one too many matches. Every online game has its problems at launch, but if Frozenbyte can address them early on, Nintendo Switch has a Scandi-themed alternative to For Honor on its hands.
Boreal Blade chega à Nintendo Switch carregado de boas ideias e com um sistema de combate completo, dinâmico e verdadeiramente desafiante. Uma base sólida para se actualizar no futuro e se tornar uma referência na consola mas que de momento encontra-se assolado por inúmeros problemas técnicos, um ambiente visual pouco apelativo e uma comunidade de jogadores pouco expressiva.
