Revengeance does its best to keep you on your toes, making you defend, so that you can go on the offensive, and that makes the game feel like it is relentlessly pushing action your way throughout the duration of the campaign.Īnother refreshing inclusion is Zandatsu, which in Japanese translates to “cut and take.” Initiating Blade Mode with the use of the LT – I fully recommend using an Xbox 360 control with this game, as I found it cumbersome to play with keyboard and mouse – when having enough energy zooms the camera behind Raiden’s shoulder and enables him to use the right stick to slice and dice his opponent into chucks of flesh and metal during slow motion, then rip out that enemy’s blue, glowing electric spinal cord of energy and smash it, which transfers into a full bar of health and energy for Raiden. It is intuitive and clever to stick the mechanic on the same button as attack, because you can simply cancel your move into a parry when you see the enemy about to bust out a move while you are hacking away. Do this correctly within an allocated time window and Raiden puts up his sword and holds a stance. To activate a parry, you need to press light attack and a direction at the same time. Parry too late and Raiden will get pushed back from the enemy, parry a little late or a bit early and Raiden will simply block the attack, but parry perfectly and Raiden will automatically counter with a blade swipe, which you can then follow on with a combo. Instead, you have to master the key art of parrying attacks – a fundamental and highly required move that you HAVE to use to become good at the game – and this is all about precise timing. For starters, there is no dedicated block button in the game. Platinum Games has given Revengeance a very distinctive mechanic that is based around Raiden’s use of a Japanese blade, the Katana.

Think of it as Konami’s entrance into the pure-action, hack-and-slash genre that includes such greats as Bayonetta, the Devil May Cry series and the Ninja Gaiden series (well, not Ninja Gaiden 3, we know what happened there). Revengeance is a completely different ball game to what you have come to expect from Metal Gear – it’s purely an action game that builds upon some tropes from franchise entries, but mostly just tries to do its own thing.
