A magazine recently got a chance to look at a build of Heavenly Sword. “Cliffbo” over at E-mpire Forums posted scans of the magazine.

After reading the scans, I am looking forward to the game more than ever. It looks like there are all sorts of different combos you can do. Which is cool on the one hand, but gets me a little worried on the other. I don’t want to have to memorize a bunch of keypresses. I also hope that all the different combos won’t be necessary, and that you might as well just button mash your way through a level.

The coolest thing is that it seems like you’re actually battling it out with several enemies at once. Not a big deal I know. But it seems that you can push a table onto one enemy to distract him, while you dispatch a different one. That’s a pretty cool dynamic, if you ask me. I’m looking forward to March!
