GRAPHICS / SOUND
Much like the original Amiga original version, the graphics look really creepy! The PC DOS version supports VGA, EGA and CGA graphics hardware (screenshots from all three graphics modes are shown below). Blade Warrior features nicely animated characters and fast action! Note that in VGA or EGA mode the game runs better with smoother sprite animation and background / foreground scrolling). The atmosphere is misty and haunting, the sprites are light shadows with great animation! The backgrounds feature bright white lighted planes while the foreground consists of some dark (shadows of) rocks and trees. The haunting graphical atmosphere is completed with some chilling horror-style effects (but not sampled on the DOS). Comparably, the Amiga version offers some impressive sampled sound effects during gameplay.
