Unfortunately, it feels subtle and lacking compassion because we don’t feel attached to their relationship. The only hint we do get is some of the flashbacks we see between Alka and her master. Really, a girl with a soulless personality wielding a blade and on a quest for vengeance should deliver more than just showing off her moves. While there’s nothing wrong with that, it all happens far too fast and makes the audience wonder what this purpose is. But of course, she is able to avoid death with superhuman feats.

In the beginning, she is chased by some soldiers with guns (yes, guns in a series when blades are a prominent feature). Throughout the series, Alka suffers not just from characterization but also value, a sense that makes people underappreciate what she is doing. And if that wasn’t cliché enough, she is hunted down as a bounty that countries has set up to claim her head on a plate. As the titular character, she wields a dangerous blade along with a tattoo for a gimmick. Although the premise sounds promising, it derides itself with its setup when most of Alka’s persona is setup as solely being a warrior. From the beginning, we find out that she’s on a quest, to deliver vengeance as a way of revenge as result of someone that killed her master. One such character is named Alka, with a very cold personality and a thirst for vengeance. the initial impression the show first makes but it quickly loses its praise when we are introduced to its cast of characters – beautiful women wearing skimpy outfits. It’s soulless per se.įor starters, we get a fantasy setting with beautiful landscapes and the feeling that you’re actually in a fictional world. But really, Blade & Soul isn’t anything special especially when the main characters are generic to the core.
Based off a Korean MMORPG game produced by NC Soft, there’s a truckload of problems I find that didn’t do well when adapting such a genre. Blade & Soul is a good example based off a game and one that failed to live up to any expectations. When it comes to video game adaptations, there’s an incentive when it comes to please fans.
