Blade Chimera out in August, new trailer

Blade Chimera is one step closer to its release date, as it’s been announced that the game launches this August.

You may remember the title when it was announced for Switch during an Indie World Showcase last November. Since it was originally planned for this spring, it looks like the game was hit with a delay.

You can find some information about Blade Chimera in the following overview:

Use the Lumina Sword—the transformed Lumina demon Lux – and its power to interfere with the past to repair damaged platforms and stairs to venture into dangerous dungeons.

In the year 20XX, cities were suddenly flooded with demons in the form of monsters and spirits that suddenly appeared in the city, sparking an all-out Demon War.

Even now, more than 30 years later, demons still roam the streets and harm humans wherever they go.

The protagonist is a member of the Missa Association, a group in charge of protecting cities from demon attacks. One day, he receives an order from the Association and sets out to hunt demons as usual, but…

In this exploration-heavy 2D action game, use your demon sword to interfere with the past, create platforms, and shield yourself from danger to explore. Upon levelling up, you will receive points that can be spent on unlocking skills that will aid you on your journey. Feast your eyes on a dystopian cyberpunk world depicted in gorgeous pixel art, meticulously animated by the skilled artists of Team Ladybug.

A new trailer for the game can be found below.
