Blade Circle
Read full descriptionHide full description
Blade Circle is an ink-wash styled mow-down survival game. [A Real HP Bar · Cheat Death] You fight with a true health bar and brief invincibility after every hit — dodge, weave and pace yourself; your positioning decides how far you go. And when your HP finally runs out, watch an Immortal Favor to revive on the spot (once per run) and rejoin the tide. [Four Treasures · Twenty Forms] Flying Swords: golden swords radiate homing volleys. Sword Ring: a violet ring shreds anything that closes in. Sword Mound Array: blades erupt from the ground to clear the field. Crimson Slash: a crimson cross-cut sweeps demons aside. Bank cultivation to evolve; each evolution unlocks or empowers a treasure form. [Three Realms] Qi Refining · Snow Grove → Foundation · Green Bamboo → Core Formation · Sword Mound Terrace. Break through and the world recolors; the tide swells and the Demon Lord arrives. [Ink-Wash Mass Combat] Shield soldiers and horned brutes press in by the hundred — damage numbers, crits and ink splashes everywhere. Controls: slide anywhere to move; your treasures attack automatically.
