story-driven: it is said that Blade & Soul will have a story line in which players will have to fight back an impending evil, but also a more personal story of vengeance and repentance as players seek to avenge a death that happens in the beginning of the game.
cut scenes from the early levels help this story unveil. developers have said that even once players obtain this vengeance they will have new goals.



well that's my review, it took longer than expected and I'm sorry i didn't get into much detail as i've been very sleepy writing this

some fans have already developed Smartphone cases for the game..

I'm glad they get relaxation days, I'm sure it's needed to build a great game
