In its heart, Blades of Time is a hack n' slash game, so you use two swords to carry out most attacks, while a dash move is also available to get out of tight situations, resulting in a very FAST combat style, faster than any I had seen in other similar games.

If you lower the resolution to 800x600 with low details, the game stays above 25 fps on $300 laptops from 2017.
