Good news for console players: Publisher PM Studios is bringing its action-packed 2D side scroller, Blade Assault, to consoles on September 30.
Blade Assault takes place after the devastating Red Stone War, which divided the game’s world into three regions. The first is the mutant infested outside grounds. The second is the dark Undercity, where helpless citizens have fled away from mutants. And the third is the beautiful sky city of Esperanza, where the rich and powerful rule over the world. Your job as a recruit in the Undercity’s resistance force is to fight against the corrupted military of Esperanza. Your goal is to bring this corrupted organization to its knees and serve it a good helping of justice.
