Action-PvP

Naraka BladePoint has been available on Steam for some time after the successful beta and the positive trend does not float. Thousands of players simultaneously make up with swords and cannons and the reviews are also very good. But what does the game make so popular?

What is Naraka BladePoint? Naraka: BladePoint is a rapid Battle Royale, which appeared on August 12, 2021 on Steam. In Naraka BladePoint it's about gaining the power of a dead of God on a cursed island.

The world is clearly inspired by various medieval cultures of Asia and also the selectable heroes correspond to typical Wuxia clichés. Thus, among other things, the blind sword master, the drunk martial artist or the Stoische Warrior Monk.

What is Wuxia? This term designates an original Chinese literature genus, but is now used for other media. In typical Wuxia works, mastery martial artists who have achieved superhuman skills thanks to their championship in their martial arts. Typical of Wuxia are crazy stunts in which the heroes and rogues fly, run along walls and carry weapons with extreme precision.

Each hero has other skills, so the sword master can use poison, the drunkard is in flames and the monk will be a kind of four-armed colossus for a short time.

In the course of the game, you first explore unarmed the island, get weapons and equipment and escapes the poisonous breath of the dead gods, which steadily reduces the playing field. On the way you do your enemies and if you stayed at the end at the end, you won the lap.

What is the situation on Steam? Already to the beta of Naraka BladePoint were tens of thousands of players online. This trend was not braked and also a good three weeks after release, Naraka BladePoint is still a hit on Steam.

Every day the number of players climb to over 100,000 at the weddings. The last peak on September 2, 2021 lay at 126,842 players, which is just under the previous high of 128,628 players on August 30th.

These high number of players are pronounced positive reviews. The game has already been evaluated over 27,000 times and 80 percent of these reviews are positive (as of September 3, 2021).

Liquid action combat system, cool heroes and high addiction factor - that's what Rocks Naraka BladePoint

Why is the game going so well? Look at the reviews and comments on Naraka BladePoint (via Steam), then the following features are repeatedly called positively:

• Since game has a detailed character editor, with which you can customize the actually prefabricated heroes individually and also possible creations are possible
• The gameplay enables three-dimensional movement with a gripping hook and other acrobatic stunts reminiscent of the Single Player Hit Sekiro
• The combat system with various blades and firearms is thoughtful and well balanced. One is constantly in motion and must actively block and dodge. In addition, weapons are broken with time and must be repaired.
• The heroes with their skills are different and make fun, there are also clear distinguishable roles, such as supporter or tank
• The game entry is very motivating, because you are only fighting against bots and the lobby is filled with people only after some experience.
• Battlepass, Competitive Ranking and Ingame Voice Chat are also available.
• The free playing of cosmetics and achievements is very motivating and makes more addictive

Also MeinMMO author Jürgen Horn has already played Naraka BladePoint and can mostly confirm the above criticisms.

What will still be criticized? Negative criticism to Naraka BladePoint is clear in the lower-mentioned, but you can still complain about a few things:

• Server problems and bad ping numbers made some players the fun. This is probably because players from various regions (e.g., Europe and Asia) will be summarized
• The tutorial would explain too little the gameplay according to some players and you do not know many functions at first at all and is therefore disadvantageous
• Matchmaking is unfair and would throw players of strongly different ranks

However, the negative comments often falls on that the game is still good, only that the performance, etc. would be bad. So should the developers take these construction sites, the resonance would certainly be more positive. At least the Pings should probably be better soon to be announced by the DEVS.
