The game is an RPG, with 3-D battlefields and a "Crafting" system where players can combine items to create a more powerful weapon.
The game will store their combinations for future reference as well and supports up to four players on a networking system.
Common to the genre, battles take place in closed off environments, but they are not triggered at random.
Colored skulls floating around in the environment lead to battles and based on the color the toughness of the encounter is announced.
These skulls can decide to chase the player or back off when they are not strong enough and go look for reinforcements.
The turn-based battles are based on a timing system where actions can be formed when an activity circle fills up.
Time does not stop however, so actions need to be selected quickly.
Weapons wear off and a Lunar Gauge can be filled up to get access to special abilities, affecting a single character or the entire group.
This technique is used by the opponents as well.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Blades of Vengeance for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Blades of Vengeance to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1993.
