Blade Assault Gets Full Release Date

I have seen Blade Assault in recommendations on Steam quite a bit since it hit the platform a few years back. Team Suneat’s action-roguelite looks cool, and it seems we won’t have to wait much longer for a full release. Thanks to an announcement by publisher NEOWIZ (who published Dandy Ace), we now know that Blade Assault will be coming out of Early Access very soon.

According to the press release, Blade Assault will release with version 1.0 on January 17^th, 2022. There is a lot to unpack with version 1.0, but the developers are most excited to reveal the game’s final act and official ending, as well as a new difficulty mode. Here is what the press release has to say about the upcoming release of Blade Assault.

“Packed to the brim with content, including the exciting final act, never before seen in Early Access, Blade Assault is the next great action roguelite from the publisher of Skul: The Hero Slayer.

The full version launches with three playable characters – Kil, Jenny, and Darcy, each with their own unique playstyle and signature weapons. There are over 200 different items from Cores to Gears, and Enhanced Weapons to equip your characters with in order to take on the monsters flooding the world of Blade Assault.

With 3 new bosses (bringing the total to 7) and the “Ending” of the game now added, as well as the Friendship System which allows you to make friends and earn rewards from the game’s NPCs – there’s a whole lot to explore in this cyberpunk-fueled pixel world.

And if you manage to take down the big baddies, and beat the game? The Assault Level will test your might with its endless hard mode waves of enemies designed to challenge even the most seasoned players. All this, and yes – new characters, bosses, and weapons are going to be added in the future with more details to follow. “

I’m excited to dig into Blade Assault soon. I’m always down for a fun, new Roguelike/Roguelite to add to my arsenal. We’ve had some really good ones in the past few years too, so hopefully, Blade Assault will join the ranks of the really good Roguelites out there.
