Blade & Bones

Blade & Bones is a Metroidvania adventure about finding seven lost swords. You explore an open map, uncover ancient secrets and fight enemies and bosses with a combat system built around timing, patience and skill.

The lost swords

Niro’s first cry created the world, and his second created the Orins. When the Orins defied him, Niro took away their voices. The first seven swords were lost, and the last seven Orins must find them to defy him again. After a brief introduction, you can pursue the seven legendary swords in whichever order you choose.

Combat

You use precise light and heavy attacks across six different styles. Attacks can be combined with rolls, ancient relics and Kuros, dynamic transformations of the body. Swords are procedurally generated, and a diverse range of enemies and bosses puts your combat skills to the test.

Explore the map

The map is open for you to uncover, with hidden shortcuts and secret passages leading to forbidden lands. Some passages can only be used at the right time of day or with the correct Kuro. Ancient relics can reveal secret weapons and life fragments that support your combat abilities; many relics, secrets and locations are optional and require extensive exploration of the game’s lore to find.
