Blade Assault will exit Early Access and launch for PC via Steam on January 17, publisher Neowiz and developer Team Suneat announced.
The 2D action roguelite platformer first launched in Early Access on June 7, 2021. The full version will launch with three playable characters (Kil, Jenny, and Darcy), each with their own unique playstyle and signature weapons, as well as over 200 different items, three new bosses (bringing the total to seven), and the game’s “Ending.” The Friendship System, which allows you to make friends with and earn rewards from NPCs, has also been added.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
After the devastating Red Stone War, the world is divided into three regions: the mutant infested outside grounds, the Undercity where people have fled to seek refuge from mutants, and the sky city Esperanza where the rich and powerful rule over the world.
Fight against the corrupt military of Esperanza as part of the resistance force of the Undercity. Bring the corrupt to justice by becoming stronger and fighting alongside your trusty comrades.
