Wulverblade is an action-packed brawler set in the tumultuous times after the initial Roman occupation of Britannia. It combines a modern aesthetic of 1080p high resolution and animated 2D artwork with classic gameplay that is a throwback to games like Streets of Rage and Final Fight. The tight, responsive, and satisfying controls of the old brawlers is a major inspiration for Wulverblade. You play as Caradoc, an ancient Briton hero who battles against the expansion of the Roman legions who have invaded his homeland. The landscapes, vistas, sights, and sounds of ancient Briton are painstakingly realized and presented. Every location in the game is tied to historic events and each place has been visited in person to soak up the atmosphere, sounds and energy, giving the game a defining feel that is anchored in the gritty climes of northern Britain.The historic angle of Wulverblade is one of its most defining characteristics. It tells a tale which mixes historic fact with ancient oral traditions and lore. A painstaking degree of time has gone into the research to ensure that every element of the game has a tangible connection to its time. The game aims to thrill the player and also educate them about a part of British ancient history that has never before been seen in a video game. Where the history meets the lore is in the epic story's climax, as both elements collide to create a story and gameplay twist that you never see coming. And to make this even more magical, this incredible tale is told through some of the most stunning animated cut scenes you could ever imagine, using a mix of traditional art/animation and modern effects.Wulverblade is spanned across 8 beautifully detailed environments that take the player through ancient pine forests, over high mountain passes, along raging rivers, and through torchlit Roman forts. The visual variation of the game is one thing it will be noted for as each level plunges you deeply into an atmosphere so strong you can almost taste it.
