The Video Game Swords of Armory Replicas
22nd Sep 2014
At Armory Replicas, our inventory consists of a large number of swords inspired by video games. Games have long been a source for designers’ imaginations to run wild with visions of fantastical weaponry, and our offerings reflect the full range of this effect. Here is a closer look at a few of the swords Armory Replicas carries, and the video games that inspired them:
-Assassin’s Creed Altair Majestic Sword. Assassin’s Creed, a wildly successful historical fiction video game series, traces relationships and rivalry between the Assassins and the Knights Templar—two of history’s most famed secret societies. The games, however, do not need to fully ground themselves in ancient history to make the premise work—the Assassin’s Creed games begin in the year 2012, and follow the fictionalized activities of these societies in the modern world.
A widespread critical and popular hit, this series inspired some breathtaking weaponry. This includes our 31-inch replica sword, designed after the character Alstair’s favored close-range weapon!
-Bloodrayne Vampire Armblade Sword. Bloodrayne is a pure hack-and-slash video game, and an excellent one at that! The game’s story begins in 1933, when belief in vampires is evidently still popular worldwide. The series’ first installment consists of a three-act structure, which begins in Louisana, as Rayne, the game’s protagonist, seeks to quash out an enigmatic disease. The story continues into Argentina and Germany, where global politics become a major part of the game’s plot. Nazis supplant zombies as the game’s main villains, and the gamer gets to fight the good fight against both!
Armory Replicas’ offering, the fierce Bloodrayne Vampire Armblade Sword, is wielded by Agent Bloodrayne in the game. The sword measures 27 inches, features a comfortable arm strap and handle, and is on sale for $16.99 at the time of this blog! Don’t miss it.
-Two offerings from Devil May Cry. Devil May Cry was originally designed as a sequel in the blockbuster Resident Evil game series, but evolved into its own beast in light of its massive success! The game follows protagonist Dante’s quest to avenge his mother’s death by battling the (literal) demons responsible for her passing. The Devil May Cry games have been some of the most highly acclaimed to be released for PlayStation consoles.
Armory Replicas offers two swords inspired by the Devil May Cry game franchise: the striking Devil May Cry Red Queen Sword of Nero and the mighty Devil May Cry Vergil Yamato Japanese Katana Replica Sword!
