Blade & Sword

Blade & Sword is an action role-playing game set more than 3,000 years ago. You fight with swords and kung fu techniques against the spirit of Emperor Jo, who seeks to annex the world. The game is a port of the original, not a remake.

Story

After Emperor Wu destroyed Country Jo, Emperor Jo set himself on fire atop the Star Building in Zhaoge. Before he died, Wen Zhong, the wizard of Country Jo, used his magic to remove the emperor’s vengeful thoughts from the world, allowing him to return to the human world and reclaim his throne in the future.

An inexplicable force draws people from different eras into the same space. The human world, Branch Brute and Branch Ghoul intersect, opening a gap through which monsters pass. Controlled by Wizard Wen, they form a vast army operating in the human world and hell. You play as a protagonist drawn into this space and brought to the village of Wa-dang.

Combat

Fighting is the main focus of the game. You can jab, slash, chop, jump, dodge and block, as well as use kung fu techniques. Combat combines fighting-game ideas with role-playing, and includes different attacks and moves.

Choose your character

You can play as one of three protagonists, each with distinct abilities, skills and moves:

• Swordsman: A balanced character with good speed and strength, varied attacks, combo moves, powerful strikes and ranged Chi attacks. The Swordsman has no pronounced weaknesses or strengths and is relatively easy to learn.
• Warrior: A slow but durable character with high attack power, hit points and physical strength. Training can permanently improve some attributes. The Warrior can defeat enemies in a few moves, but is vulnerable to being hit, struggles to track enemy movement and has difficulty chaining combos.
• Heroine: A fast, agile character who can evade attacks, land accurate hits and chain combos with leg techniques. Her sword attacks can disable enemies by damaging their limbs rather than killing them, and she is the only character who can use supporting skills. She has low attack power and hit points, and a short attack range.
