Official description
A love-song to pulp fantasy tales of yore, 70s synth-prog-landscape oddities, and forgotten places, God of Blades is a gorgeous, visceral sidescrolling physics-based sword-fighting adventure. Players assume the role of a nameless spectral king who has risen to defend his planet against a rampaging doom-cult the devouring touch of the cosmic horrors they serve. Wrenching this world from the grasp of oblivion, the Nameless King wields phantom blades forged from the legends and heritage of a dying world.
God of Blades asks players to think about memory, culture, and loss in terms of stories, books, and the communities that love them. Advocating for an awareness of lost tales, God of Blades rewards players with special swords for visiting real world libraries.
