If you haven't tried Naraka Bladepoint, it's out on Steam as of last week, and pits 60 players (alone or in teams of three) against each other in a shrinking battle royale arena. Although there are guns, they're clunky, and the focus on melee weapon combos, magic abilities, and Assassin's Creed-like climbing combined with zippy grappling hooks. It took some warming up to, but it's fun.

The game features plenty of weapons for players to check out, with a lot of emphasis on feudal Japan, there’s some amazing combinations players can use.But, during a battle with an enemy, you’re going to want to use certain mechanics such as countering to get the upper hand on your opposition.

Getting started in Naraka: Bladepoint

•     Play the tutorial. It'll show you the basics of movement, comboing, and countering. Don't worry if you're confused on a few points when you're done, that's normal.
•     Look through the Narakapedia. You can find this in the game menu accessible at the top right (the gear icon) or by clicking the ? icon up there. It's full of stuff you'll want to know about that the tutorial doesn't teach you.
•     Try the training mode. It's in the mode select menu, which you reach by clicking the button above "Start" on the main menu. Suggestion: Press F4 to open the training menu, set the bot mode to parry training with a certain weapon, and turn combat on. It'll come at you with blue strikes so you can find the timing for counters (left mouse + right mouse). You won't die if your health depletes, so don't worry about that.
•     Play your first match. Set matchmaking to The Herald's Trial and jump into your first game to fight... bots. Your first match won't be a real one as Naraka: Bladepoint tries to ease you into the experience. It'll start matching you with real players after you play a game or two with bots, though, so it's just a rite of passage.

In Naraka: Bladepoint there are two types of weapons, melee and ranged. Melee weapons can perform standard attacks or focus attacks. Standard attacks will not produce any visual effect while focus attacks will create a blow glow on the character.
