Blade of Darkness Official 2001 User Manual [ENG]

Description

The following user manual is the original 2001 manual that came with the CD for the European english version.

This is intended mostly for archival purposes, as the Steam re-release does not have it included anywhere, however it does give some brief character background lore that is otherwise not directly mentioned in the game.

DISCLAIMERS Codemasters no longer hold the publishing rights for Blade of Darkness and does not provide support for the title. Please do NOT contact them for technical support!

Controller support was added in the re-release hence the manual does not cover it.

Multiplayer arena mode was removed from the re-release but can be accessed through the classic version.

The credits page for obvious reasons does not include any time-travelling people who may have worked on the 2021 re-release.
