About this game

"Beautifully brutal and will have you coming back for more!" - SNAPP Attack

"Two parts Vampire Survivors blended with one part Dark Souls" - TouchArcade

Ultra Blade is a roguelike RPG where players wield massive weapons against impossible odds!

Hack n' slash your way through endless hordes of mutating enemies. Unlock and upgrade 1000s of hero and class combinations, each with their own unique looks and abilities. Every new character expands the available pool of in-game upgrades, making every run feel different.

Drag to move and auto attack, release to execute a heavy attack. Swipe to dodge. The controls are simple, but the real complexity is in how you build your champion. Infuse flaming bolts into your bow, generate earthquakes with your slashes, or summon blizzards with your shield- the possibilities are almost limitless.

Built for short, action-packed sessions.

Core features Include:
- One-touch control scheme and challenging, skill-based combat
- Endless Challenge Mode that refreshes every hour
- 27 Unique arena gauntlets to master
- 12 Unique heroes to unlock by completing challenges.
- 5 core classes (Bow, Shield, Greatsword, Gun, and Staff) and 100s of weapons to mix and match
- 15 Meta-changing relics to unlock and upgrade
- Mutating enemies that change how they fight and behave.
- Blood-pumping soundtrack

And more to come!

Ratings and reviews

I was going to purchase the premium version; I'm glad I decided to try this one first. There's a great game hidden inside here somewhere, but it hasn't came out yet. The idea and core mechanics are excellent in theory, but in practice the combat is sluggish and simply isn't fun. This could easily be up there with VS and 20 Min as one of the best in the genre, but its not there yet. For now I'd give it a 2/5 and I would not recommend premium version because it isn't fun and feels unfinished.

I really want to like this game. The glaring issue is the wonky control scheme. Using a single joystick to control movement, light, and heavy attacks is very imprecise. The tap/release and slide mechanics are very janky and frustrating to use. If playing this game one-handed is an important feature for the development, then get rid of the heavy attack altogether. If the heavy attack is an important feature that needs to be kept in the game, then add a button somewhere that controls it.

This game is amazing. There is a bit of a learning curve,, but after you get used to it it feels smooth and controlled. I love the combat controls and how it feels to combo groups of enemies. I like how it is easy to gain currency and to unlock new characters. (Almost) every character has a unique fighting style and ranges of abilities that can be unlocked by other characters. This game is great and it keeps me busy for HOURS.
