Blade Assault is a 2D action rogue-lite platformer with beautiful pixel art set in a desolate sci-fi 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.

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.

Blade Assault features tight, responsive controls and a cast of charming characters. Playable characters have various transformable weapons that they use to battle against their enemies. Weapons can be further customized by different “Cores” and “Transform Upgrades” that appear randomly during gameplay.

Blade Assault is making its way to PC via Steam Early Access on June 7, 2021.

The Early Access version will include 4 full chapters of the game, 4 bosses, 3 types of weapons, and over 50 different items to collect and augment your characters’ abilities with. Throughout the Early Access period, Team Suneat will be focusing on player feedback, and adding new content.

“We’ve loved working on Blade Assault and with NEOWIZ to bring our vision to life,” said Team Suneat’s CEO Jun Hyeong Kim. “We feel that we’ve created something truly special, and that players will adore our uniquely mutated cyberpunk world and the fast-paced combat we’ve built. We can’t wait to work with our fans to make Blade Assault even better in the weeks and months ahead.”

Satisfying fast-paced combat. Utilizing diverse skills, dodging enemy attacks by dashing, launching projectiles, slashing away mobs of enemies. Your attacks change according to the “Cores” you select and the upgrades you decide to take on your runs.

Meet NPCs and find upgrades along your quest to unlock unique powers. Each playable character has their own weapons of choice kept in their own armory.

Key Features:

  • Collect red shards and return to NPCs to unlock & gain permanent upgrades. 
  • Choose between an arsenal of different weapons according to your play style.
  • Control oriented game play that rewards mastery over the game.
  • Challenging levels that always offer players room for improvement.

Blade Assault is coming to PC (Steam) in 2021, followed by PS4 and Nintendo Switch version shortly thereafter.
