Broken Blades debuts on Steam

Broken Blades makes its PC debut, labelled as a “hardcore 2D platformer with elements known from roguelike and metroidvania games”.

Developed by two Polish companies – Golden Eggs Studio and West Wind Games, who are also the publishers – Broken Blades is available on PC via Steam with 2022 bringing an Nintendo Switch edition. 

“Broken Blades draws from titles such as Rogue Legacy, Dead Cells or Skull: The Hero Slayer, but at the same time it has its own, unique character, strongly emphasised by its fairy-tale art style. It’s not an easy game – it requires great dexterity, swift reactions and an analytical approach, so it’s a proposition for players who enjoy challenges,” explained Paweł Czarnecki, CEO at Golden Eggs Studio.

“In total, Broken Blades offers from a couple to a dozen or so hours of fun, because that’s how long it usually takes to complete the game, but I’m sure that there will be many players who will be able to break records in this respect.”

In Broken Blades, the developers combined a 2D platformer focused on single-player experience with elements known from roguelike and metroidvania games.

The player’s goal is to escape from randomly generated dungeons, which requires not only great skill and caution, but also avoiding traps and defeating demanding monsters and even more powerful bosses. 

The primary weapon for players is the sword, and it can be assembled in any way they wish from the shards found, which have a direct impact on its properties.
