About the Game

Starlight Blade
Master Precision. Shatter Defenses. Claim Victory.

KINDLE THE LIGHT, DISPEL THE DARKNESS:

Where the Sun once knew no setting, the Moon has risen. A Veil of Darkness shrouded the light, and its Cult opened the hunt for the Star-forged. Stand ready to challenge the Lunars, the stars that have gone dark. Fight your way through the Army of the Moon. Blade and resolve – these are the weapons that will carve your path to victory.

INTENSE & TACTICAL COMBAT:
Fast-paced, third-person sword fights where spotting and destroying glowing weak points are key to victory. Break enemy armor, cut off limbs, expose their core. Every weak point destroyed changes the fight – enemies become more dangerous, but also more vulnerable.

YOUR ESSENTIAL MOVES:

  • The Lunge: Your game-changing move. Quickly dash to an exposed weak point or grab a grapple point for a deadly strike or quick dodge. Fail, and you're open to attack.

  • Parry & Stagger: Use your timing to block enemy attacks and fill their stagger meter. When it's full, they'll be stunned, and their weak points will glow – your chance to deliver a powerful attack!

  • Heavy Smashes: Break through armor, knock down enemies, and destroy the environment to create obstacles or new routes.

  • Smart Positioning: Find the right angles for devastating attacks, take advantage of high ground, and use enemy strength against them.

STAY AGGRESSIVE, STAY ALIVE:
Destroy weak points to recover health and stay in the fight for longer. Experience intense, strategic combat, mixed with exploration and physics-based puzzles, all while using your core combat moves.
