As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for metroidvania games and a soft spot for engaging narratives, I find myself utterly captivated by the impending release of Blade Chimera in 2025. The intriguing mix of cyberpunk aesthetics, exploration-centric gameplay, and a hint of mystery surrounding my character’s past has me hooked.
On January 16, 2025, the Metroidvania game “Blade Chimera” will be released for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. This announcement was made by both publisher PLAYISM and the developers behind the game: WSS playground and Team Ladybug.
Here is an overview of the game, via PLAYISM:
About
When the past catches up, desolation becomes strength.
As Shin, a Demon Hunter who’s lost his past, you journey through the world alongside your transformed demonic sword, Lux. Together, you rediscover your personal history, search for your absent spouse, and recall long-forgotten abilities.
Every time a forgotten talent is recalled, Lux transforms as desired by her user, boosting Shin’s power and unlocking new regions within the world.
The Story
In the not-too-distant future, strange, warped creatures resembling monsters and ghouls mysteriously emerge, wreaking havoc on cities worldwide. Humans find themselves embroiled in a fierce conflict against these “demons,” as they’ve come to be known, in what is now called the Demon War. After three decades of ruthless fighting, the remaining humans have united under the Missa Association, a religious organization led by someone who claims to know the key to defeating these demons. Despite the recurring appearances of peculiar monsters, cities and societies persist in thriving.
3 years ago, a man called Shin was discovered alive amidst debris, preserved through cryopreservation. Having forgotten his past, he swiftly rose to become one of the top fighters and guardians within the association.
Yet, upon encountering the strikingly radiant demon, Lux, Shin experiences a peculiar sense of déjà vu. This uncanny feeling prompts her to extend shelter to her, disregarding the conventions of their association.
Starting right then and there, the past gradually unveils itself, showing the series of occurrences that shaped the city into what it is today…
Gameplay
In this game that primarily focuses on exploration in a 2D setting, you’ll employ your demon sword to manipulate the past, generate fresh terrain for traversal, and safeguard yourself against perils as you delve into a barren universe.
Apart from the Lumina Sword, you’ll be able to utilize additional weaponry like nimble daggers for quick attacks and long-distance firearms. Discover the ideal tools that match your combat approach.
When you advance to the next level, you’ll earn points which you can use to uncover abilities that will assist you throughout your adventure.
