About this game

Phantom Blade: Executioners is a fast-paced action game set in the Phantom World, an original world conceptualized by S-GAME.
It features a rich storyline of kungfu adventures, where you dive into a conspiracy that threatens to topple the world, cut down kungfu masters who have succumbed to insanity, and find out the mastermind following a series of seemingly independent incidents.

Exhilarating, fast combat

Phantom Blade: Executioners celebrates the thrill of kungfu combat with the sheer pace of it. Just like in a good kungfu movie, you will often find yourself facing multiple opponents who just wouldn’t give a break. Dodge, parry, leap out of harm’s way, create an opening to deliver a torrent of lethal blows. Build up an expansive arsenal of kungfu moves and choreograph them into sequences that perfectly fit your own play style with the Combo Chain system, which is introduced to cut the need for excessive button-smashing or memorizing super long move lists. Explore and find your own niche!

Oriental art in modern glory

The stylish visual art of Phantom Blade: Executioners is based on Chinese traditional painting, augmented with modern sharpness and elements of fantasy. “Kungfupunk” is the name we coined for this approach, not unlike steampunk and cyberpunk. All combat animations are carefully crafted by prestigious studios under the leadership of Michael CTY, who had been the art director of Demon’s Souls and the first two titles in the Dark Souls trilogy before joining us to work on Phantom Blade: Executioners.

Engaging Wuxia storyline

The world is falling apart as kungfu masters, one by one, gain enormous power overnight and somehow turn insane in the process. As you investigate, these seemingly independent cases appear to have a pattern. The clock is ticking. Take down the insane ones before any further damage is done, and stop the spreading of body-engineering technique known as Sha-Chi Mod!
Experience an authentic Chinese Wuxia story full of suspense told in episodes and branching side quests.

Ratings and reviews

Extremely fun side scroller. Plenty of fun to just come up with build ideas and experimenting to see what works and doesn't. If you like to experiment and figure out games like a puzzle then I'd recommend it. Granted it's still a mobile gacha so don't expect it to be a difficult puzzle but it's still a very fun albeit simple puzzle. TLDR; stylized side scroller with lots of potential for player expression

4Day Review: So far, so good. There is no auto combat and plays like a console game. Reminds me of Ninja Gaiden on the NES but with gacha game elements. There's no real reason to spend in the game unless you want costumes and fancy skills. They give you more than enough (global launch prizes) currency/items/tix before level 30 to where you'll be fairly strong. Drop rates feel decent or I've just been lucky. Only minor complaint I have is moving around a stage can feel clunky at times.

This game is fantastic, I've been playing for a few hours and love the art style, the story and animations are also really well done. My one thing is the characters animation when moving, it looks very funny and throws off the more serious nature of the game, not the double tap sprint, I just mean when moving...it's like he's running in place, his legs move faster than he is moving or something lol please please change this animation and then it's a 6 star game 100%. Still a 5 star game though
