The world is breaking… AWAKEN - Astral Blade is a 2.5D action-adventure metroidvania where you play as Tania, a bionic warrior fighting through a world twisted by Karpas energy. What began as a search mission quickly turns into something far more sinister, as the missing investigation team proves to be only the beginning. A mysterious force has corrupted the land itself, twisting wildlife and vegetation into hostile, unpredictable forms. But this world doesn’t explain itself, and you uncover its truth piece by piece.
Master a precise and responsive combat system built around speed, timing, and control. Chain together dynamic combos, parry incoming attacks at the perfect moment, and turn defense into offense. Use Quick Rise to stay in the fight, and dash through enemies to slow time itself, gaining a brief window of invulnerability and devastating counterattacks from hordes of enemies and bosses.
Explore a dense, interconnected world designed to respect your time while encouraging discovery. Uncover hidden paths, fragments of a lost narrative, and remnants of those who came before you. The deeper you go, the more the world reveals — and the more dangerous it becomes.
Harness the mysterious Aether, a volatile resource and use it for your own benefits. Enhance Tania’s abilities and strength, unlock new combat skills, or invest in upgrades that adapt to your playstyle. Whether you focus on raw strength, mobility, or tactical flexibility — the path forward is yours to define.
Face intense combat encounters and powerful bosses, or adjust the difficulty and gain helpful buffs when needed. The experience adapts — but the journey remains yours.
Awaken: Astral Blade is a 2.5D action-adventure metroidvania developed for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and Android, released in 2024. Players control Tania, a bionic warrior dispatched on a search mission in a world destabilized by a corruptive force known as Karpas energy, which has mutated local wildlife and vegetation into hostile entities. What initially appears to be a straightforward investigation gradually reveals a far darker underlying threat, with the world's lore disclosed incrementally through exploration. Combat centers on speed and timing, incorporating combo chains, parrying, a Quick Rise mechanic, and a dash that briefly slows time while granting invulnerability and counterattack opportunities. A resource called Aether fuels character progression, allowing players to invest in strength, mobility, or tactical upgrades according to their preferred approach. The interconnected world contains hidden paths and environmental storytelling, while adjustable difficulty settings accommodate different playstyles. Bosses serve as major combat encounters throughout.
Bionic girl Tania is assigned by her creator, Dr. Herveus to search and rescue a missing Investigation Force in the rainforest of Horace Islands where mysterious Karpas energy turns local animals and plants into aggressive mutants called “anathemorphs”. After defeating the large mutant creature that attacked the Investigation Force, Tania discovers the centuries-old remains of the Eternity civilization deep in the rainforest and then finds the source of the abnormal energy at the site of the legendary Altar of the Eternity. Weave your own story in this dark fairy tale. In the mysterious ancient ruins, you will embark on an adventure with Tania to reveal her origins and fate. Is there any chance of survival in this darkest and desperate place though?
