'''NOTE 2: As I said on (now-designed as average) my blog page, This page is dedicated to Edgar M. Vidgal, who sadly died on April 1, 2015 (2 months after Monty Oum's (the creator of mh:rottenwebsites:Rooster Teeth's mh:besttvshows:RWBY) death). Edgar, You would be missed.'''

Warblade is a shareware computer game for Microsoft Windows and OS X, written by Norwegian developer Edgar M. Vigdal. The Windows version runs well on Linux under Wine. It is also available for retail in the App Store for iOS devices (in iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad versions). The game is a 2D space shooter in the vein of the perennial classic Galaga. It is a rewrite and modernization of a popular Amiga shareware game, Deluxe Galaga, which was written by the same author back in the mid-1990s. Where technically possible, the graphics and sounds are respectful to their Amiga origins.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The gameplay is challenging if you play on Hard or Ace mode (depending on your opinion)
 * 2) The game is knowed for resembling Bandai Namco's Galaga, which Edgar himself was been inspired and also written Deluxe Galaga for Amiga.
 * 3) The boss battles (or Big Trouble in the game) is challenging (depending on your opinion)
 * 4) The soundtracks are great if you're like electronic music.
 * 5) The sounds and graphics are great and respectful to their Amiga origins, even by 2003 standards.
 * 6) Upgrading spaceship would make game enjoyable. Unfortunately, if you get hit once, you would instantly die and spaceship would downgrade.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It can be frustratingly difficult due to difficulties on Hard and Ace mode.
 * 2) No continue option would be impossible to save the game.

Cancelled Sequel
In May 2007 it was revealed that Vigdal had begun planning a sequel to Warblade, dubbed Warblade II. On 19 December 2011, Vidgal revealed the new main screen design for the sequel, now titled Warblade MK II. The new game was to include a level editor, as well as completely redesigned graphics and levels. It was to be released for Windows, OS X, iOS and Android.

It was announced on the sequel's official Facebook page that on April 1, 2015, the creator of Warblade, Edgar Vigdal had died, casting the future of the sequel into doubt. It was later stated in the comment section to that post, that "as Edgar died and no-one can follow his code, yes, the project is not continuing".
