Play Blades Of Steel (europe) Online

Blades of Steel came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990, a Konami release that was part of that era when sports games were finding their footing on home consoles. It was a time of simple graphics and straightforward concepts, and this game fit right in.

You control a five man hockey team, skating up and down the ice, passing the puck and taking shots on goal. The main objective is to outscore your opponent and win the match. A couple of its signature mechanics are the one on one fights that break out after certain collisions; if you win the fight, your opponent gets a penalty. There is also a distinctive power up system where collecting certain items lets your player unleash a super fast, almost unstoppable shot. The pacing is quick, and the difficulty can be sharp, especially against later teams that defend aggressively. It feels responsive and direct, a game where a well timed check or a perfectly placed slapshot brings a real sense of satisfaction.
