Blade of Agony

Blade of Agony is a first-person shooter set in the middle of World War II, which takes inspiration from some of the most representative titles of the genre, such as Wolfenstein 3D, Medal of Honor or Call of Duty. The game uses the engine of GZDoom although, unlike other similar projects, it is standalone. That is to say, you will not need absolutely nothing more than the game itself to be able to play.

Unzip and play

To start playing Blade of Agony all you need to do is unzip the compressed file in a folder and double-click on the executable (Blade of Agony - Launcher.exe). And that's it. It is not necessary to use GZDoom separately, nor to add assets from other games, or anything like that. Just unzip and play. It is worth taking a good look at the graphics options before starting a new game, as the game offers a lot of flexibility and you can customize your experience by adding lots of modern visual effects (such as post-processing layers).

Three chapters and thirty game levels

Blade of Agony is an FPS with a strong narrative component and a very well cared story, in which you will be able to talk to other characters and make decisions. One of the first decisions you can make, in fact, is to choose which chapter you want to start with. Ideally, they should be played in order, as they are all part of the same story, but nothing prevents you from starting with the third episode of the story if you want to. Each of these chapters has about ten levels. In addition, the game features several secret maps.

A luxury enemy artificial intelligence

One of the most striking aspects of Blade of Agony is the artificial intelligence of its enemies. Soldiers can roll on the ground to dodge your shots, flee to an area where they have reinforcements, or hide behind cover. In addition, enemies react consistently to elements such as visibility and sound. This way, you will be able to hide from enemies if you stay in the shadows and don't make any noise. For example, you will be able to take out many rival soldiers by crouching down and approaching from behind without making a sound.

A brutal FPS full of action

Although at a conceptual level Blade of Agony drinks mainly from Wolfenstein 3D and Medal of Honor, the truth is that the gameplay is much more reminiscent of Doom or other FPS with a much more frenetic style of play. In some levels stealth can help you, especially during the early stages, but usually the game pushes you to act fast, move at full speed and attack enemies with everything you have at hand.
