If there's any questions about combat just ask! I'm going through the tutorial now and taking mental notes, and I'll make a post when I'm done.
(Real quick so I don't forget: Insert = sit down to recover life)
*EDIT*
OK! So I'm done with all the tutorials and stuff. Now.. where to start...
So combat
If you made it through the tutorial you must realize that you swing around the mouse to make the blade movements (very cool!) and walk with WASD or the mouse. You target by selecting it with the mouse, as well. Now, that power strike thing. Unfortunately, I accidentally clicked too quickly to read what it was exactly saying as far as the set up (sorry! If anyone can screen cap that for me, or I'll just make a new character), but it's done by pressing the spacebar and the "i" key on the keyboard.
Lastly, click the sword icon around the bottom left to sheath your sword. That should be all you need to get through the tutorial.
Now, when you get into town. You meet a cute little girl named Sakura. She shows you around and shows you you just have to click the box icon on the map tile to be able to see the bigger map. Then points out the red square with the house is the place where you learn about stuff, and the blue square with the hammer is the blacksmith (who happens to be her... damn I forgot... oh yeah, grandpa), where your sword was fixed.
Now for story:
As you might have guessed, as well as deduced from the title (Blade Chronicle), this story is about a sword. More specifically, the sword you first have in the tutorial. So the whole time, some unknown voice is leading you up the mountain. When you get to the top, he says something along the lines of him not even introducing himself yet. (He never says his name) He asks you to just hand over the sword, you obvious say a big "no" by unsheathing your sword, and he attacks. Apparently, he was far stronger, and you wake up with sakura. She tells you that you're swords been repaired. She gives it back and you say that you had another one. She says she didn't see anything but then when she found you. Clearly, he stole your sword.
So, I guess it's a quest for that awesome sword in the beginning
Good luck... haha
As I figure out more and play with menus I'll post more... I'm really liking the game so far, so I might even put up a little picture filled walkthrough if I find myself with some amount of spare time.
