What is Blade Assault?

Blade Assault is a 2D side-scrolling action roguelite set in a divided science-fiction world. As an Undercity resistance fighter opposing Esperanza’s military, you fight through runs, dodge attacks, and modify your weapons with cores and upgrades found along the way.

For you if...

  • +you like fast combat built around dashing and attacking
  • +you enjoy changing your weapon setup across repeated runs
  • +you prefer pixel-art science fiction to realistic settings

Not for you if...

  • you prefer slow, deliberate combat over frequent dodging
  • you want a story-led game rather than combat-focused runs
  • you want cooperative play instead of a single-player game
