About the game

Boreal Blade is a team-based melee fighting game with a focus on player vs player combat, combining reactive and tactical gameplay with extraordinary freedom to variate your attacks and develop your unique fighting style.
Description from the Steam store page.
Minimum specs

Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, NVIDIA GeForce 260 / Radeon HD 4000 Series / Intel HD Graphics 4000, 4 GB of storage. Windows only.

The value story

It has been discounted 57 times in the 6 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 75 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $0.79 at 80 percent off still sits 11 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is cheaper than 80 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 83 percent. On the same math MORDHAU ($29.99, scores 56) and Chivalry: Medieval Warfare ($24.99, scores 63) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

More about Boreal Blade

7 of the 428 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 795 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 246 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 54 percent of the 225 reviews written there were positive, against 63 percent overall, and those are 50 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 0.3 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 2, 6.7 times as much.
