Each one feels light on its feet or heavy in its movements, depending on which character you play. It is a decent-looking game, but more important is how smoothly the characters are animated. I'm not sure that any serious player really cares how Archeblade looks, although I have seen many comments and reviews that mention the game's use of the Unreal engine. Players and fans alike want to be able to see goals achieved, goals that can be achieved only because of the meticulous and repeated analysis of the standards. It's the same reasoning that has left American football bland and yet very successful. Players don't exactly need surprises as much as perfect balance and roles that they can learn and love. In fact, as in MMO raiding or PvP, it's those exact templates and rules of engagement that make the genre attractive to its fans. I don't hold the seeming lack of originality and repeated designs against games like Archeblade. Players can choose to melee, assassinate, or kill from a range. And as is often the case in MOBA-styled games, the large number of character types does not stop the usual character roles from being featured. Once the rage meter fills up, a special attack can be released the special attacks range from valuable heals to damage buffs.

Each character has a basic attack on his left mouse button and special attack on his right and will build up rage as he fights and take damage.

There are a dozen or more characters to choose from, each one offering a unique way to play inside the sometimes claustrophobic maps. Players will find mostly standard gameplay in Archeblade. Even though I'm not a huge fan of these genres, I enjoyed the game more than I thought I would, but what it offers is not that surprising or unique. I've been told that fans who enjoy fighting games like Street Fighter or MOBAs should enjoy this title. Archeblade is a new action-based, arena-based, multiplayer game by Codebrush games.
