Bladed fury

Set in a myth-inflected version of ancient China, Bladed Fury follows Princess Ji after a political coup kills her father, exiles her, and places her older sister under house arrest. Ji sets out to seek justice and return to the palace.

The game is a 2D action platformer built around side-scrolling stages. Players move through platforming sections, solve puzzles, and clear rooms of enemies, with boss fights along the way.

Combat combines light and heavy attacks with dodges, parries, combos, and Soul Sliver abilities. Ji gains powers through encounters with ancient deities, and skills and upgrades support her progress through the stages.

In this helpfulness-selected sample, players often praise the distinctive art and animations, along with the Chinese mythology-inspired atmosphere and music. Many find the combat and boss fights enjoyable, particularly when chaining combos or using parries and Soul Sliver abilities. Some appreciate the focused, short campaign, while others wish it were longer or find its combat, story, or attack timing less satisfying.
