BLOOD WILL TELL
Blood will Tell’s Hyakkimaru is completely unlike the average videogame protagonist – with detachable arms that hide vicious shoulder mounted swords, and legs that conceal bazookas, he’s fully equipped to undertake the journey across five varied environment and slay ant hell-beasts he may come across. And slay he will – Sega Wow has included over 100 different monsters, raging from ogres to skeletons to giant deities in an adventure that promises to be an impressive third-person adventure akin to Devil May Cry.
Of course, Hyakkimaru will not be simply limited to the weapons connected to his torso, and a number of weapons still be revealed by the developer can be collected during the adventure – presumably Hyakkimaru’s prosthetic firepower will become less deadly as he unifies his organs and dispenses with the prosthetic replacement, and will need a little added artillery to redress the balance. Another intriguing aspects of Blood will Tell is that is the throughout the course of the game, the vengeful warrior will be accompanied by his young friend Dororo, a thief who can be controlled in areas where Hyakkimaru can no longer progress. Two players will also be able to the companions cooperatively and unravel the mystery together, adding some multiplayer longevity to what is often seen as a single player, narrative-led genre, Blood Will Tell should be one of the most outstanding game of its time
