Sony just released these latest screens from Ninja Theory's PS3 epic, Heavenly Sword – another title which wowed the crowd’s at yesterday’s Sony conference.
The game is a stunning-looking martial arts sword slasher in which you play Nariko, a mystical, red-headed sword-wielding heroine embarking on a quest for vengeance against an evil king, played by Andy Serkis (Gollum from Lord of the Rings, film fans). SPOnG loves epic quests for vengeance against evil uberlords!
The game boasts a sophisticated combat engine which can scale up from one-on-one encounters to one-on-many, and you can make use of tables and scenery to help in battles, which sounds awesome. Sony is really pushing the title’s movie-like cinematography and the fact that it ‘feels like a blockbuster action movie and takes combat gameplay to new heights’.
Oh, and did we mention the devastatingly explosive bazookas and multi-skewering spears? They do say that redheads are fiery!
