Computer senzienti noti come motes evocano eroi da mondi paralleli di altri giochi per sfidarsi in combattimenti uno contro uno contro la forza divoratrice di dati chiamata Lina. Il vincitore del torneo si risveglia come Blade Stranger per sconfiggere Lina e proteggere i motes. Questo picchiaduro hardcore old-school su PC vanta combattenti tratti dai titoli di Studio Saizensen come Code of Princess e Sayonara Umihara Kawase, oltre a giochi Nicalis come Cave Story+ e altri ospiti speciali.
Uno schema di comandi a quattro pulsanti permette ai principianti di colpire subito, mentre combo articolate, contromosse e mosse speciali premiano gli esperti con conteggio frame, catene e padronanza degli hit-box. Ogni personaggio offre otto varianti di colore e arene dedicate, con modelli 3D resi come sprite 2D in stile anime mozzafiato. Il gioco online affina le abilità contro rivali di tutto il mondo. I giocatori casual si buttano nel divertimento, ma i pro dei tornei puntano alla perfezione.
A malevolent force known only as Lina is devouring data from a vast, interdimensional network of servers overseen by sentient computers called ”motes.” In desperation, the motes summon heroes from a variety of parallel game worlds to face off against each other in one-on-one combat. The tournament victor has the potential to be awakened as the Blade Stranger—the savior who can vanquish Lina and protect the motes from further harm!
