Heavenly Sword was an amazing expierience and a some what overlooked game by new comers this late in the game to the PS3. The game lacks Trophies and that, sadly is enough to turn many off at giving it a play. Luckily for us the saga will continue.
Ninja Theory does not own the engine or the franchise. Those are owned by Sony. So when we do get our hands on it I expect a solid sequel with Sony behind it. Kotaku was given an opinative piece by the developers on a new take on the story.
1. Heavenly sword 2 will take place 10 years after the events in heavenly sword 1
2. The main character will be a male with martial arts background
3. The main character will be Kai, but she will be a more mature woman.
4. The game will require you to master different martial arts styles before retrieving the heavenly sword
5. The game will, instead of button mashing, have controls that utilize an analog stick to go through weapons.
6. The game will have downloadable weapons, characters, and enemies to customize your experience.
7. The game will be more interactive with the environment
8. The game will have you on a storyline with replayable missions, as opposed to an open world
Sounds promising.

I enjoyed the first game a lot, and it basically was a god of war, only it lacked the puzzle elements and full platforming that GoW had, which caused it to be a short game. So I’m hoping the sequels are longer.

I really enjoyed Heavenly Sword. The ending was epic! Yes, it was short but it was a fun ride. That’s all that matters to me.

Ya I really liked the story, that’s just the only thing to me that was the issue was it was short, with not too much replay value.

The controls as well. The motion control for the arrow was so satisfying.

Yeah I borrowed this game from my friend when I first got my PS3, it’s pretty good.
#17 by Oly on April 12th, 2011 [ 129768 Points ]
Was a great play through. They would need to bring Nariko back IMO to make a good sequel.
