features
  • The Heavenly Sword – The Heavenly Sword itself can transform into three distinct weapons, each with its own accompanying fighting stance used by Nariko to vary combat styles.
  • The Combat Engine – The combat engine can scale up from sophisticated one-on-one encounters to one-on-many, where enemies employ intelligent squad-based dynamics, right up to combat against battalions pushing real-time gameplay and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to unprecedented new levels.
  • Physics-Based Combat – The physics-based combat allows players to sweep debris against opponents, kick tables to halt an oncoming surge of fighters, smash the enemy into the scenery, or throw bodies into other enemies using “aftertouch” controls.
  • Wide range of Objects & Weaponry – Heavenly Sword provides a wide range of objects & weaponry including rapid fire crossbows and massively damaging bazookas.
  • Creative in-game Cinematography – Coupled with real-time story evolvement and amazing set-pieces, Heavenly Sword feels like a blockbuster action movie that takes combat gameplay to new heights.
  • PLAYSTATION®3 – Greater processing power on the PS3 enables more immersive visuals and sound effects in Heavenly Sword, heightening the character performance and combat within the stunningly beautiful environments.
description
Emotionally charged, stunningly beautiful, and delivering unprecedented dramatic character performance, Heavenly Sword™ showcases the power of PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) computer entertainment system. A dramatic tale of revenge sees Nariko, a fiery red-haired heroine, embark on a quest for vengeance against an invading King and his army. The story builds around the ancient Heavenly Sword, which once belonged to a powerful deity. It can never be wielded by a mortal without it slowly but inevitably draining their life-force.

When the invading King (played by Andy Serkis) destroys the warrior clan that guards the Heavenly Sword, the clan leader’s daughter, Nariko, takes up the sword in a desperate fight for survival. Nariko must now pay the ultimate price as she embarks on one last mission of vengeance against the King and his army before her life is finally and irreparably overtaken by the omnipotent Heavenly Sword…

Great action adventure game
Heavenly Sword is a PS3 launch game, but it's still entertaining. Comparision with God of War is inevitable, and although not as good, Heavenly Sword is a very capable action adventure game, with high emphasis on cinematics.

Wicked.
A game that really test your skill in controlling the control pad. Master it and you will master the game. Awesome graphics and crazy story line. It's bound to blow your mind in its own way. Awesome game!

Good game
This game has high production values, story, cinematics and voice acting. Graphics while may seem a little outdated compared to newer games like God of War 3, are nontheless still beautiful and with great looking levels. Combat system is fun and fast paced. You have 3 different stances to choose from and switch between on the fly, allowing for multiple types of combos and finishing moves. Some levels also put u in the role of another character who uses a bow to take down enemies. Being able to control the trajectory of the arrows using the Sixaxis in mid flight is a pretty cool feature.

Keep in mind that Heavenly Sword is a heavily combat-centric game so there are also no puzzles to solve or platforming levels and this can make the game to feel repetitive. There are no huge areas to explore as levels are mainly a straight path from point A to B, making the game rather linear. But if u like fighting hoards of enemies without needing to worry about figuring out puzzles and platforming, while having a good story, you will enjoy Heavenly Sword.
