NARAKA BLADEPOINT is a cooperative and competitive game that combines different types of martial arts. The whole atmosphere of the game is filled with legends and myths of the Far East. Players are given the opportunity to measure their strength with other players, with the ability to use different types of close and long-range weapons. Developers from the studio 24 Entertainment worked on the development of the game, who managed to release the game on August 12, 2021.

Once on one island there were about 60 of the best warriors from the entire continent. Each warrior possessed his own best qualities and experience in the mastery of martial arts. If not for matter, then perhaps the warriors could live in peace and hold their territory. But, the matter came closer and closer, leaving less free space for life. The warriors could only bare their weapons and fight for primacy, because only one could survive.

In total, the game features 9 characters, 2 of them can be bought for in-game currency or real money. Each hero has his own advantages on the battlefield, with his own tactics of the game and special abilities. You need to understand each character and take into account their abilities when going into battle. Some characters, in most cases, are designed for team play and serve as a support. There are offensive class wars that are more suitable for playing solo or in any other mode.

All characters have the opportunity to upgrade during the game. Levels of pumping open up new abilities and skills. The opened skills have the same type of attack, only with different priorities and some points. For example, a standard ability could reduce movement, and a pumped ability does not affect movement speed, but enemies receive other effects (from Viper Nin).

Leveling up the character also unlocks new outfits, hairstyles, accessories, and so on. Open things affect only the appearance of the character, and in battle there are no priorities. If only to understand other players that they have a pumped character in front of them who is able to provide decent resistance.

• • Viper Nin.

  

  Viper Ning, originally from Western Konunya, has blood mixed with deadly poison through her veins, giving her powerful strength. Ning is as beautiful as she is dangerous. Her gaze is hidden by a bandage and only fate knows when the warrior will be able to see the world with ordinary eyes again.

  • Tarka Ji.

The path forward is full of great trials, but he is ready to meet all difficulties with a smile on his face and a faithful sword in his hands. Tarka Ji controls the elements of fire, maybe that’s why the developers assigned the status of a drunkard, because of getting energy from alcoholic beverages.

  • Kurumi.

  • Yoto Hime.

  No one is able to escape the blows of her demonic blade, and those who stand in her way are doomed to perish. As the dust of battle settles, she is again gripped by guilt for the endless blood on her hands. Great power is not a miraculous gift at all. Force must be controlled and able to bear this burden.

  • Walda Tsui.

  

  The heiress of General Wald Cui was preparing to set off on a long journey. She made big plans and burned with ideas. An amazing woman with a sharp tongue and a gift of persuasion, she was never shy about using the environment for her own purposes. She directed her inexhaustible talent to the struggle for justice. And in all four seas she had no equal. To play for it, you will have to pay 12,000 Te (game currency). This is a special warrior for experienced players.

  • Yueshan.

  Our kingdom is overrun with unrest. Despite my prowess, our Emperor avoided me. And therefore, I intend to meet with those who will confront me on the battlefield on the Isle of Morus, and support the rightful ruler of the earth. He is the owner of secret teachings and has a deadly weapon that is activated using abilities.

The indicators and characteristics of the hero can be increased with the help of “Glyphs”. To open a new cell “Glyphs” the player must play and gain experience. After a few levels, a new cell for the installation of “Glyphs” will appear. There are 4 types of “Glyphs” in total: primordial, lunar, solar, eternal. Each of the species are responsible for their own directions. For example, they can increase the level and speed of energy recovery for dodging, range and speed of throwing a hook, getting coins, and so on.

The game implements many martial arts, with different types of weapons. Moreover, at the beginning of the game, all the heroes have empty hands and pockets. Nevertheless, the heroes are not deprived of the opportunity to fight their enemies. With the help of arms and legs, you can repel enemy attacks using the teachings of kung fu and karate. It is possible to repel enemy attacks without weapons, but it is very difficult.

The main task at the beginning of the game is to look for any weapon that the player can and is capable of fighting with. There are several types of close-range weapons and you will have to get used to each of them. Since the weapon has a different attack speed, attack range, attack mechanism. Some melee weapons quickly accumulate “blue attack”, which deals decent damage, while others take longer. There are melee weapons with which you can hit the enemy at close range, other types of melee weapons have a certain attack distance.

The beginning of the battle begins with the choice of a drop location or a landing point on the island of Morus, with players up to 60 people. Having appeared at the selected location, the player can choose further directions of movement. Of course, the best direction is where there are no or fewer enemy heroes. In this case, it is advisable to choose places with a yellow territory and buildings, since there you can replenish supplies and get legendary weapons. Battles usually take place until the last survivor or the end of the battle.

Moving around the island of Morus, you can meet other players and neutral characters, as well as dangerous storms. With the players, everything is clear, they are also trying to survive and are looking for more suitable weapons. For defeating an enemy hero of another player, the player receives all the trophies that the enemy fighter possessed during his lifetime. This can be armor, weapons, darkwater coins, supplies, and other items. At the same time, you need to understand that the presence of another player can lead to defeat, since it is very difficult to cope with two alone.

But with neutral players, the process is different. You must first find a scroll with a task where you need to defeat the hero, and then arrive at the marked location. It is very good if you manage to arrive at a place where there is enough time to defeat the enemy and go to a safe zone. Over the victory of a neutral character, you can get all the trophies that the enemy possessed during the battle. And also, for the victory they give a reward in the form of darkwater coins (about 6000), which can be spent in special stores on the map.

After the release of the game, it was possible to play in several modes. It seems that this upset the players, and the developers have added several more useful and exciting modes. In the beginning, new players were forced to appear on the battlefield with experienced players and could not resist at all. Since there was little experience and the initial levels of the characters. After several updates, the developers have added a bot mode to the game, in which beginners can get great pleasure from the game.

In total, at the moment, there are three types of combat modes:

• Workout.

In this section, players can learn how to control the character and learn some of the subtleties. There are three directions of the game “Management Guide”, “Advanced Learning”, “Free Practice”. In the first two, you can learn how to control the character and find out where weapons and supplies are obtained. In “Free Training” you can actually try out different types of weapons, weapon enhancements and supplies. And also try to get used to some weapon with the possibility of using a blue attack.

In this section, 4 types of combat modes are available: “Test of the Messenger”, “Quick Game Search”, “Eternal War”, “Bot Mode”. We can say that this is the main section where players of different levels meet on the battlefield. You can choose to play solo, two or three. If you choose a team game, you will have to wait a bit.

– “Test of the Messenger”.

By choosing the “Test of the Herald” mode, players receive a rating that can affect the further selection of opponents. The higher the rating, the stronger and more experienced the enemy players are. Before the start of the battle, you can select a landing point on the island of Morus. Heroes fight for the Mask of Immortality.

During the game, you need to try to find the most valuable items and weapons, including armor. In this mode, there is a small chance to see the soul of the goddess Yin – the wrath of the moon. If all allies survive on the battlefield, and the character wins, then there is an opportunity to fight the Wrath of the Moon. For defeating the Wrath of the Moon, the character can receive unique items for 1 day. And for a few victories with Wrath of the Moon, players can receive generous Moon Soul Treasures.

– “Eternal War”.

This mode becomes available to experienced players after receiving the “Star” rank or higher. During the fighting, the character gets points, the more points, the higher the character’s place. In the game, you can get an additional bonus to the score, depending on the rank and the total number of enemies defeated by the allied group.

On the battlefield, 48 players can meet, instead of the standard 60 characters. For defeating an enemy character, the player can receive 2000 darkwater coins. In this case, the first three heroes who were the first to defeat their opponents receive additional coins of 5000, 4000 and 3000 coins. Merchants spawn more often, and the chance to get Improved Soul Jades from Lucky Jade Bags also increases.

Penalties of this mode apply to legendary equipment, they will not be on the map at all. In terms of epic equipment, there will be, but much less often. This may complicate the battle process a little, however, it will slightly equalize the capabilities of different players.

Syncs additionally give golden weapons or golden jades.

Sometimes developers release special events in which some of the conditions of the battle change. In this mode, you can enter the world competition among players.

– “Splash of Shadows”.

The rules of the game are identical to the rules of the “Test of the Herald”, but differ in some effects and influence. For example, the safe zone at the start is smaller, the damage from shadow damage is higher, each character has 2 revivals. In this game event, it is easier to get improved items and equipment. Silver eggs are scattered all over the map and there is a great chance of getting Snow Soul Jades.

– “Massacre”.

Players are given a limited time for which they need to make the maximum number of kills. For one victory, they give +1 point, for a streak one more point is added, for a streak of 5 victories +2 points, if the murder was committed from the role of a hunter + 5 points. The more points a character has, the higher the chance of gaining leadership.

– “Bloody sport”.

The tournament is a knockout tournament for 16 participants, where only one wins. 16 participants are divided into 8 groups, in which there are 2 participants each. In this mode, all abilities of the characters are disabled. All matches have a two-wins mode. Before the start of the battle, all participants choose weapons for their characters. At the same time, there is no way to play for the same character in one round.

The winners are the players who caused the most damage, if the damage is the same, then the remaining amount of armor and health are taken into account. During the game, all heroes receive additional protection.

The developers from studio 24 Entertainment have done a great job on the game, providing a great competitive action. You can play solo or with a company. At the same time, on the battlefield you can find not only experienced players, but also special warriors controlled by a computer. Wonderful graphics and local landscapes that are inspired by ancient Japanese mythology.

NARAKA BLADEPOINT is definitely worth playing and be sure to climb to the top of the trees to enjoy the surrounding atmosphere. Use the grappling hook and take off to the top, then jump off and enjoy the mesmerizing flight. On landing, health will not diminish, but the sensation is impressive.
