"Blades of Fire is a great return to the genre for MercurySteam. With great exploration and a unique combat system, Blades of Fire should have been a sure hit. Unfortunately, the situations you encounter feel completely unfair, and the mechanics sometimes work completely against you. Even still, Blades of Fire is a fun game that harkens back to the old school action-adventure titles, where exploring its world reaps the best rewards and game experience."

About

Blades of Exile is a strategy RPG from Spiderweb Software that tasks you with managing characters, resources, and battles across three standalone campaigns. Each adventure mixes turn-based combat with base-building and skill progression as you navigate quests and tactical encounters. The game emphasizes careful planning over action, letting you customize party members and adapt to changing scenarios through upgrades and equipment. The scenario editor included with the game lets players craft and share their own missions, adding longevity beyond the built-in content. Released in 1997, it remains a niche title with a dedicated following, praised for its depth in character development and resource management. Its no-frills approach to strategy and role-playing mechanics offers a straightforward challenge for fans of older PC RPGs.
