Defend Mankind's last city from the endless hordes of darkness! Ultra Blade is a horde survival RPG with rogue-lite progression elements. Build new heroes to take on new challenges while cutting through 1000s of foes at once. New heroes unlock new powers, making runs more dynamic the more you play. 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.

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. - Fully offline - Blood-pumping soundtrack And more to come! https://twitter.com/_FoolishMortal
