Blade Wars Pre-Closed Beta Sign up Now Available

ChangYou.com (US) Inc. today announced the Pre-Closed Beta Sign up for Blade Wars, a revolutionary action/fighting F2P MMORPG.

What sets Blade Wars apart from all the other MMORPGs on the market is the deep, innovative battle system that will reward players for skill and making good choices in battle. Blade Wars offers gamers an unparalleled variety of realistic martial arts moves. There are 99 different combat styles available. Different combinations of skills can result in powerful combo attacks on your enemies, and the battle system emphasizes player decisions rather than just pre-calculated formulas. Skilled players will even be able to use abilities such as feigning attacks, or if correctly timed, dodge opponents' strikes.

Below is Blade Wars' Game Features for your to know more about this new MMOG.

1) Zither Hero
Purchasing the Music Skill from Zither Terrace allows an adventurer to play beautiful and graceful music for other adventurers to hear. Adventurers can choose to use a musical guide for a certain piece or can play a custom musical number. The timbre of the musical instrument can be changed instantly from a wide range of thematic instruments. The musician earns experience points for playing songs for other users.

2) Fluid Combo Attacks
Blade Wars offers a system of attacking any opponent with incredible attack sequences. Continually hitting an enemy will generate long combo strings which grant extra damage on the 7th, 15th, 22nd, and 33rd hits. Generating longer combo attacks adds more damage as the combo continues. Up to four separate attack combos can be customized, and their scope is limited only by the adventurer's imagination.

3) Mythos
Blade Wars contains a strong underlying background steeped in ancient Chinese legends, from Xing Tian, the Headless Giant, to the Yan Emperor. Beginning in the diversity of Spring County, the plethora of adventures and tasks available serve to expose the rich culture behind the Blade Wars saga.
