Once you get back to the village you can enter a crafting tent and use all these items to create the weapon that you want. The weapons that Hideake is armed with will all depend on the items that you loot from fallen enemies and chests spread throughout the levels. That is unless you want to punish yourself and get stuck in a loop constantly starting over from the beginning. If Hideake dies, you will have to start over again from the beginning, so I suggest taking your time and not just running and slashing because chances are this will not end well for you. During the training if you happen to screw up the move you are required to do, you will have to keep trying until you successfully complete it.
#WITHIN THE BLADE REVIEW TRIAL#
It definitely required some trial and error. It’s not always super clear if all the buttons that they show have to be hit concurrently or one after another. This can actually be quite difficult at times. To complete the tutorial you have to successfully perform the move that is shown on the screen.
#WITHIN THE BLADE REVIEW HOW TO#
I highly recommend doing this because there are a huge number of attacks that you learn how to do. Within the Blade has the option to complete a tutorial as soon as you turn on the game. Of course the ninjas from the Black Lotus Clan are the only ones that can stop them. You learn that the steel clan’s leader, after receiving the power of an evil warlord samurai, has been summoning demons into his army. Though I do have to admit there is something satisfying about successfully sneaking up on the enemy and dispatching them.

Most of the time these quests involve taking down bandits and members of the Steel clan in a brutal fashion. Your quest is to do whatever the Genshi, the head of the clan, wants you to do. You play as Hideake, a ninja in the Black Lotus Clan. I can honestly say I’ve never played a ninja game where my sword would break and that had me crafting my own kunai, throwing stars and other random weapons. Within the Blade brings something totally new to the table. Being able to successfully block an enemy's attack is incredibly helpful. Not only do you have to hack and slash with your sword, you will need to hone your ninja skills and be stealthy. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this was not the case. You may be thinking that Within the Blade is the retro-inspired, ninja-platformer game that you have played before. Reviews // 26th Jul 2021 - 2 years ago // By Alana Dunitz Within the Blade Review
