Blade & Sword does a passable impression of coming up with some new ideas. It's set in the Far East you see. Which is just like Throne of Darkness, another Diablo clone released a few years back which gave you control of seven different fighters, but we shall let that pass. It includes combo fight moves, Street Fighter style. Please, someone splash some water on my face to let me know I'm not dreaming. It includes the most rudimentary of skill systems, and rather than mana you have chi. Otherwise this is Diablo in all but name, and that is Diablo 1, not the much refined sequel. The same repetitive clicking that was so enjoyable in the Diablo games is turned into an experience that can be fairly compared with jogging on feet flayed of all their skin.
