Since Adrian's site is partially devoted to Blade, then Drakan cannot be that bad (and Drakan fans should think the same?)
Could you Drakanians please show me some links to screenshots of Drakan?
Here are some pics from my BLADE mod and map:
It's ok. I found some Drakan pics myself.
This is only meant as a friendly(!!!) challenge: Blade is the best[:D] hack-and-slay (not stupid only-key-clicking, you must fight with courage and brain) ever and it indeed has the best combat system I have ever experienced (it may not be perfect, but it is the best, oh yeah trust me)! And it is so great to mod and custom-map it (meanwhile I completely live in sectors, entities and functions[:D])
