Blades of Vengeance is a 1993 platformer exclusively for the Sega Mega Drive by Beam Software and Electronic Arts. The game has not been republished in any form so far and has become the perhaps most expensive Electronic Arts game on the system. Three heroes set out to free the land from a ruthless warrior queen. The game has semi realistic artwork and employs a couple of technical tricks such as raster scrolling for background.
