BLADE OF DARKNESS MOD

GAMEPLAY DESIGN USING BOD ENGINE (2004)

 

* GAMEPLAY MOD FOR ENHANCED REALISM

* ALL ENEMY STATS RE-DESIGNED

* FASTER, DEADLIER COMBAT

* STRONGER FOES AND WEAPONS

* RE-BALANCE OF PLAYER STATS


This mod is, at the moment, exclusively a gameplay modification of Blade of Darkness--also known in the U.S. as Severance. The purpose of the mod is to re-balance enemies, weapons, items and player-stats in order to increase difficulty and speed of combat.

This underrated game boasts a great combat system that nevertheless required tweaking in order to make it shine even more. The mod makes both enemies and players much more deadly. The result is a quicker and more thoughtful approach to combat.

I also corrected the combat system so that weapons that were previously un-usable when found can now be wielded. I suspect that there were a few errors in the original game-balance (not surprising considering that each level is prepared to be completed by different types of player-characters and sometimes in different order).

The game is deserving of a much more thorough work. I hope to expand upon this mod and include graphical changes as well to correspond with the item rebalance.
