If you're a fan of arcade-style fighting games like the SoulCalibur series, then Playsoft's Bladelords: Fighting Revolution is a must play. This brawler features exquisite graphics, produced with Unreal Engine technology, and a quick fighting style that rookies and veterans will easily adapt to. The only thing you have to get used to is the free-to-play structure, which can be pretty costly.
You won't be that brutalized, however. With some help from us, you'll be a master in no time.
Keep in mind, though, that the game works on a charge meter. You use up a charge each time you fight against an opponent, and once you run out, you can either wait for it to refill (like an hour or two), or pay a few gold coins to fill it right back up. The choice is yours.
The combat system features light and heavy attacks, as well as a special move that can be executed once enough orbs fill up in your energy meter. They only take four seconds to recharge, but it never hurts to have an extra on hand if it looks like your opponent may get the jump on you.
In addition, you can unlock new fighters with coins, although some of them cost quite a bit. Shop around and figure out which ones you want to go after, then save up and unlock them. By doing so, you'll be able to enter more fights and earn even more money.
As always, if you can't wait that long, you can buy coins with a secondary in-app purchase to unlock everything.

At one point or another, you probably will.
