Team Ladybug, developers behind metroidvanias Touhou Luna Nights and Record of Lodoss War Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, has announced that their upcoming title Blade Chimera will release on Steam and Nintendo Switch on January 16, 2025. Set in a dystopian future, players will take control of Shin as he battles through demon-infested Osaka to save his wife.
Blade Chimera Story
The game’s narrative unfolds thirty years after the “Demon War,” a conflict that reshaped the world and saw humans fighting off ghastly demonic hordes. In this new reality, the “Holy Union,” a religious group, has managed to establish a stable enclave of survivors amidst the chaos.
Game Features
Demon Companion Lux: Players will navigate through the game with the help of Lux, a powerful demonic sword. Lux can perform various utilities such as shielding Shin from harm, serving as a platform to traverse obstacles, and restoring lost objects in the environment.
Dynamic Skill Tree: As Shin defeats demons and progresses through the game, he will unlock new skills via an expansive skill tree. Players can choose to enhance their combat abilities or unlock utility skills such as “Warp” for instant map traversal or double-jump capabilities to reach previously inaccessible areas.
Variety of Weapons: In addition to Lux and Shin’s main firearm, players will have access to a variety of weapons including greatswords and whips. This diversity allows for experimentation with different combat styles and strategies.
