Blade's Burden

Dive into this unique single-player adventure that contains plenty of unique characters, but zero "NPCs".

This is because you – a sentient, cursed sword known as a Soulblade, have the ability to take control of anyone who grips your hilt.



In this Germanic Folklore-inspired HD2D RPG (with rogue-lite elements), you have the power to take control and play as every character in the game, and change the course of the world from within the character's multiple factions. Use your powers to capture stronger husks allowing you to reach unimaginable strength and dominate the nearby communities! Or use a friendly husk to assist them with tasks and earn their trust. Either way, recruiting the nearby inhabitants is the key behind learning more about your Soulblade abilities and the other Soulbound who came before you.



As a Soulblade, you're not just juggling your own stats and abilities – you're also pulling the strings on the lives of the bodies you possess. Your choices will shape the world, but thanks to your snazzy body-swapping skills, not everyone will realize that you're the mastermind behind it all.

All characters are playable, and all characters are recruitable while you begin rebuilding your keep. Choose wisely, as roles like the Blacksmith will have effects on the quality of upgrades you can perform based on the faction the recruited NPC originates from.



So, are you ready to unleash your inner blade and let the adventure begin?
