What to expect from Bladesong

If you’ve been playing video games for as many years as I have, you must have used plenty of swords. In Bladesong, you can craft swords without any limits. Thanks to its modular crafting system, you can craft a sword of any design, shape, and size.

With warriors and nobles seeking your services, you’ll have to meet specific needs and expectations. Making a sword will be easy, but giving it shape and turning it into a masterpiece won’t be so simple. You’ll also have to discover secrets in Eren Keep as you spend most of your time smithing the next perfect sword.

There’s a Campaign mode available for those who want to enjoy a narrative journey. Alternatively, you can simply try out your imagination in the Creative mode. If you want to check out the core gameplay, a free demo is available on Steam.
