Phantom Blade: Executioners 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-mashing 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Blade&Soul Revolution at 4.6 against Phantom Blade's 3.6. Blade&Soul Revolution also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 28). Phantom Blade's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (49% vs 36%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Blade&Soul Revolution sells 78 one-off in-app purchases and Phantom Blade sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Blade&Soul Revolution holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blade&Soul Revolution has 1.7K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Blade&Soul Revolution's written reviews are positive against 49% of Phantom Blade's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Blade&Soul Revolution ships an update monthly, Phantom Blade every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
