There’s only one way to score in Blades of Brim, and that’s by killing monsters. So it goes without saying that you should be solely focused on killing as many monsters as possible if you’re hoping to run up an impressive score.
As you go through your runs, you’ll see that each monster has a number on top of their heads – that’s the number of times they have to be hit before you kill them. As such, always be prepared for a potential follow-up attack when dealing with a monster whose toughness rating is higher than 1.
Of course, there are other twists in this game apart from its endless runner influence that makes it different from the average RPG. When it comes to loot, you’ll lose everything you gathered since the last time you stashed it, should you lose all your lives or fail to stash the loot at the checkpoint. Remember to pay attention to the distance separating you from the next checkpoint, and make it your mission not to get killed before making it there.
The moment you collect five runes through your runs, you’ll be flying through space, thanks to a weird and quirky portal. This opens up a mini-game of sorts, one that will allow you to gather a truckload of gold coins. There’s really no risk here, so if you want to gather more coins, follow the trail of the coins and before all that, make sure you don’t overlook the runes while going on your runs.
You have to be alert at all times when playing Blades of Brim. That means you have to look forward when you’re running – this will give you a heads-up on the enemies you’ll be encountering, as well as the obstacles that might throw you off your focus. Each of the levels is randomly generated, but you may stumble on some monster or obstacle patterns that you can follow in order to stay on your run and destroy more monsters.
