Every legend has a beginning.
Before we forged the world of Blades & Battles, we spent decades mastering the art of the 16-bit blade. 🗡️✨
From the brutal wilderness of Rastan to the tactical depth of Dungeons & Dragons, these are the five pillars of sword-based beat 'em ups that defined generations and directly inspired our upcoming journey.
We aren't just making a new game; we are honoring the steel and magic that made us gamers in the first place. This is our tribute to the golden age of arcades, reimagined for the modern era.
Swipe through to revisit the classics and see where the DNA of Blades & Battles comes from.
