Why Naraka: Bladepoint Is Not a Title to Sleep On
Since Naraka: Bladepoint has been available to critics, it has received mixed reviews with some positive feedback. IGN gave the game an 8/10, Metacritic a 71/100, and PC Gamer a 73/100. Despite a somewhat middle of the road response to the title, it has seen a great deal of popularity and at one point had more than 120,000 players online at the same time. It has also had an official tournament in Southeast Asia and is considered a suitable game for competition.
Naraka: Bladepoint has released in more than ten language versions and is scheduled to crossover with the Nier series in the future. A lot of praise coming to the game recently is for smooth mechanics and a reasonable opponent size of 60 players per round. There has been a great deal of positive conversation concerning the upgrades and character customization as well.
Battle-royale style games like Fortnite, PUBG: Battlegrounds, Call of Duty: Warzone, Z1 Battle Royale, Apex Legends, and more have become a part of everyday gaming for a lot of PlayStaton 5 users. Now, 24 Entertainment has brought another title for gamers to enjoy, as they fight to the death through various methods against 59 other players, where it is every man for himself.
