The wheel of fate is turning, and the acts of one can seal the destiny of many. Will your blade save us, or doom us all? Your time has come to rise…
Good or Evil, choose your side and live an epic quest which will immerse you into a world of high-class fighting. Grab your sword, be one with it and become the ultimate Blade Lord!

******************************
GOOD OR EVIL
• Play as you wish Sakuraba, the fierce and brave swordsman, Hitodama, the bloodthirsty demon ; Kateryn, the charming warrior lady; or Kyogen, the Ninja assassin !

OLD SCHOOL FIGHT
• Entirely thought for the iPad and the iPhone, Blade Lords is a 3D game with a 2D combat view that will make you live through the pleasure of fighting games with controls tailored for mobile devices.

STUNNING VISUALS AND ENVIRONMENTS THANKS TO THE UNREAL ENGINE TECHNOLOGY
• In between Western middle-age and Japanese universes, ranging from the snowy battlefield to the very Asian below-the-cherry-tree stage, you will fight in amazingly beautiful and never-seen before settings thanks to the Unreal Engine 3 technology!

CUSTOMISATION
• Each character has its own fighting skills as well as unique equipment and attributes. You’ll be able to customize your character the way YOU want with the in-game store: costumes, weapons, potions, accessories, etc. that will make your character even more powerful!
• Following an RPG-like progression, the XP point attribution system allows you to shape your characters in details as you wish: more defense, more attack, extra powers! It’s all up to you!

SIMPLE AND INTUITIVE

Doesn't look half bad! Should this be available @ 11?

^ Agreed

Wow bad timing. This uses OpenFeint.

Graphics are great, although strangely not anti-aliased on the iPad 3, even though it uses the Unreal engine.
Gameplay is pretty decent, although a bit simplified compared to most popular fighting games.
Multiplayer is currently unavailable and marked "Coming Soon".
There are only 4 characters, 3 of which need to be unlocked with in-game currency.
Characters gain experience and can have points attributed to various stats as they level-up.
The shop includes weapons and armor to increase your various stats. Most of these seem to use the in-game currency.
The shop also has one-time use items for fairly significant stat increases, creating a real "pay-to-win" atmosphere.
Premium currency is awarded from some quests in small amounts, but I don't know how far into the game that will last.

Why only Canada and Singapore? Such a strange combination of countries.

Not strange at all. A lot of developers use those countries for testing purposes, even EA and Squeenix. They work well as smaller subsets to their largest customers. For example, Canadian culture and language is nearly identical to the US, but only has around 1/10th the population.

Canada has its own uniqueness.....
We have way more beavers than the US
And we have the CN Tower....
Ya we have beavers and towers... And we have throat singing way up north!
See the difference
PS: calling us smaller subsets doesn't help our self esteem up here!!!!!

Are there other games like these, used for testing purposes?

I played a bit of this game, like it a lot for the novelty of being able to use a sword which is pretty unconventional in a fighting game. Graphics is pretty good, I like how colourful and pretty everything looks and there're zero frame rate issues on the iPad 2. The commands are simple enough to use, most of them are just direction+1 button. My big gripe with usual fighting games is the combos are so complex and hard to use.

Oh and I laugh every time I hear the winning message. You win, Yaay!
