Furious hack-and-slash action imbued with the awesome fury of a fire-breathing dragon headed for you in this gameplay video update of D3Publisher's Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire for the Nintendo Wii. We get you the juiciest bits about what could be the hottest title (literally) for Nintendo's motion-sensing console - that is, if we can stop wishing that you can actually summon the dragon's entire form through your sword.

In these videos, we see the main character using every weapon in his arsenal - that is, different parts of the fire dragon's body - to his advantage, making him an unstoppable one-man dragon fodder wrecking crew. We see a very nice utilization of the dragon's mighty tail as a burning whip, as well as the dragon's oversized fists for some good old-fashioned blunt force trauma. We also get a sneak peek at the beginning of a boss battle, where you'll have to use your skills and wits to destroy the multiple cores of the evil dragon.

The graphics are sharp and the moves are fluid - it's just a bit sad we won't be able to summon the actual dragon in his full form for a last-ditch attack, as we're only allowed to summon bits and pieces of him for combat. Oh, well. Besides that little quirk, Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire should be a hit with hack-and-slash fans, as well as those who want to see just how effective the Wii's motion-sensing capabilities can enhance gameplay.

» looks very promising

Looks like a solid arcade game. Obviously still early in development. Character models are really good but the enviroments still need some work tbh.



Curious how this will develop.

I was looking forward to the game til I saw the spoiler heavy video where a guy explains the number of bosses powers and limits. I don't like spoilers...
