Among the tribe, a legend said that the sword's original wielder would be reborn in the year of the "fire-horse", and that this figure would unite the world's scattered tribes and lead the world to peace. A warrior tribe finally took charge of the sword, ending the wars and pledging to keep it safe and unused for the world's own good. The fighting made the sword lust after the life of its users, eventually killing them after a short time. After the battle was won and the Raven Lord defeated, the sword was left in the mortal world, becoming the center of wars over its power. The game's story and mythos revolves around the titular Heavenly Sword, a blade said to have been wielded by an unnamed Heavenly deity against a demonic warlord called the Raven Lord. Such projectiles include guiding Kai's arrows after she has launched them, and for Nariko, guiding a cannon or rocket launcher, or picking up and throwing objects. Projectiles can be maneuvered to their targets using the motion-sensing capabilities of the Sixaxis controller through a feature known as Aftertouch. While Kai cannot perform hand-to-hand combat, in stages that call for her to explore the level she is able to hop over objects and to free herself from an enemy's grasp by temporarily stunning them. Many of Kai's stages take the form of sniping missions, using her crossbow to pick off enemies, in some cases to protect characters. In addition to Nariko, a secondary character, Kai, is controlled for some portions of the game. During a QTE, a symbol for a certain button or for an action such as moving the analog stick to the right or left appears on-screen and the player must match what is shown to successfully complete the scene. Power Stance is the most powerful, but slowest style, where attacks are made with the sword in the shape of one large, two-handed blade.įor exploration and certain battles, the game also makes use of quick time events (QTE). Range Stance allows fast, long-range, but weaker attacks, with the sword being two blades chained together. Speed Stance provides an even balance between damage and speed, where the sword takes the form of two separate blades. The main character, Nariko, uses a weapon called the "Heavenly Sword" which changes into one of three forms depending on what attack stance the player uses as part of a unique fighting style.
The gameplay of the game resembles a martial arts title focused on melee combat while featuring opportunities for ranged attacks. The game is an action-adventure title with heavy elements of hack and slash gameplay. Heavenly Sword is a 2007 action-adventure hack and slash video game developed by Ninja Theory and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3.
