They choose to slow things down a notch or two, giving players more time for strategic thinking. “What’s more popular today is ‘strategic action game’, such as Soulslikes and Monster Hunter. ![]() “We are huge fans of the hack and slash genre,” Liang said. That’s a question a lot of fans are asking, given its comparisons to Sekiro and Wo Long, but Liang says Phantom Blade Zero isn’t necessarily a Soulslike game. A good place to look for more is a newly created subreddit, where fans have pulled out parts of the trailer and highlighted what they think Phantom Blade Zero will deliver whenever it launches. Otherwise, S-Game’s website is mum, leaving things to teasers and screenshots. A bleak world makes characters with hearts of gold really stand out.” So, there’s a race against time through the game’s narrative to defeat the enemies of The Order and bring justice to those responsible.Īs for the game’s visual presentation, Liang said, “The dark/bleak visual style that you’ll see a lot in the game is a deliberate decision. After being mortally wounded, Soul’s life was saved by a magic healer, but only for 66 days. The player-protagonist, called Soul, is an assassin who is framed for the murder of the leader of The Order.

It is an action role-playing game that should delight fans of recent action role-playing games like Ghost of Tsushima, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, especially as they share themes from Asian culture.īut Phantom Blade Zero layers on a lot of its own lore with a striking blend of martial arts and steampunk. We’ll do our best to bring you up to speed on this intriguing adventure, which at the very least appears to present players with stylish, sword-and-melee combat set in a world based on feudal China. It’s Phantom Blade Zero, from S-Game, and its genre/style/features are also kitchen-sink difficult to describe. Of 25 trailers shown during Wednesday’s PlayStation Showcase, the one most fans seem to be talking about the next morning also was the one most out-of-the-blue. ![]()
