“Rule number one…”: Naraka: Bladepoint Boss Gives the Most Valuable Advice to Survive Horribly Brutal Battle Royale

Naraka: Bladepoint is a hand-to-hand, melee combat, battle royale game. In the highly diversified and brutal battle royale landscape, Naraka: Bladepoint offers a fresh and new way to interact in a battle royale setting. Although there are ranged weapons in the game, mastery is only gained by getting near the opponent and using melee combat techniques.

However, role-playing battle royale games have a tremendous and often frustrating learning curve, especially for newcomers, given the rank diversity and difficulty in reaching up to the experience that others have already gained after years of playing.

In this overwhelming landscape of battle royales, Naraka: Bladepoint‘s developer 24 Entertainment’s lead producer Ray Guan has the perfect advice that is going to put beginners’ minds at ease.

One tip from the Boss

In an interview with Den of Geek, last year, Naraka: Bladepoint‘s developer 24 Entertainment opened up about the future of the game ahead of its announcement of making the game free to play across platforms.

Addressing a question regarding the intimidation felt by newcomers joining the game, Ray Guan, lead producer at 24 Entertainment said –

Rule number one: don’t panic and learn how to counter, it’s not that hard to perform a nice counter. A normal attack streak will always follow with a charged attack, and that’s your time to be ready with a counter. And don’t forget to try the one-click Counter function.

Beginners are exposed to beginner-friendly heroes upon starting the game, namely: Tianhai, Viper, Matari, and Zipin Yin, and can unlock the rest by progressing in the game. Every 3 months, the game releases new content, agents, gameplay modes, and gifts.

Commenting on the inspiration for creating the unique world of Naraka: Bladepoint, Guan said –

The visual is heavily inspired by classic easter lore, Especially Chinese mythological stories. We also tried to restore old treasures from eastern history; For instance, armour from the Qin dynasty, collaboration with Longmen Grattoes etc.

Naraka: Bladepoint offers a fresh perspective on battle royales, with the introduction of close-proximity melee combat. Shedding further light on this, Guan said –

No matter where you hide you MUST face others as the environment circle shrinks. And with the ability to grapple, you suddenly have the agility to chase an enemy or retreat. Most important of all the systems we have allows all sorts of play styles feels very freeing. 

This game is one of its kind melee-focused battle royale with the players heavily relying on melee weapons and sword-slashing. The game is available for PC, XBOX, and PS5, and is free to play.
