Heavenly Sword

Heavenly Sword exemplifies the potential of the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system by being emotionally charged, visually attractive, and delivering unprecedented dramatic character performances. In this spectacular retribution story, Nariko, a fiery red-haired heroine, embarks on a journey for vengeance against an invading King and his army. The plot revolves around the ancient Heavenly Sword, which belonged to a mighty deity in the past. A mortal can never use it without slowly but inexorably depleting their life energy. When the invading King destroys the warrior clan that protects the Heavenly Sword, the clan leader’s daughter, Nariko, takes up the sword in a desperate attempt to save her family. Nariko must now pay the ultimate price as she goes on one more vengeance expedition against the King and his army before her life is ultimately and irreversibly taken over by the omnipotent Heavenly Sword.
