dramatic tale of revenge sees Nariko, a fiery red-haired heroine, embark on
a quest for vengeance against an invading King and his army. The story builds
around the ancient Heavenly Sword, which once belonged to a powerful deity.
It can never be wielded by a mortal without it slowly but inevitably draining
their life-force.
When the invading King (voiced by Andy Serkis, aka Gollum of Lord of the Rings
fame) destroys the warrior clan that guards the Heavenly Sword, the clan leader’s
daughter, Nariko, takes up the sword in a desperate fight for survival. Nariko
must now pay the ultimate price as she embarks on one last mission of vengeance
against the King and his army before her life is finally and irreparably overtaken
by the omnipotent Heavenly Sword.
Features:
- The Heavenly Sword – The Heavenly Sword itself can transform into
three distinct weapons, each with its own accompanying fighting stance used
by Nariko to vary combat styles.
- The Combat Engine – The combat engine can scale up from sophisticated
one-on-one encounters to one-on-many, where enemies employ intelligent squad-based
dynamics, right up to combat against battalions pushing real-time gameplay
and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to unprecedented new levels.
- Physics-Based Combat – The physics-based combat allows players to
sweep debris against opponents, kick tables to halt an oncoming surge of fighters,
smash the enemy into the scenery, or throw bodies into other enemies using
“aftertouch” controls.
- Wide range of Objects & Weaponry – Heavenly Sword provides a
wide range of objects & weaponry including rapid fire crossbows and massively
damaging bazookas.
- Creative in-game Cinematography – Coupled with real-time story evolvement
and amazing set-pieces, Heavenly Sword feels like a blockbuster action movie
that takes combat gameplay to new heights.
