If you don't know what a 'Bleak Sword' is you're in for a bit of a lofi treat, because this game packs some seriously subdued-yet-ultra-powerful art. Coming to PC and Switch this year by way of Devolver Digital who just seem to know an Indie winner when they see one, Bleak Sword DX is the base game, all DLC and some revamped level and enemy layouts.


Pure, thrilling and wonderfully cruel, Bleak Sword DX is a dark fantasy action game challenging warriors to fight their way through compact, cursed diorama battlefields. Newly updated for PC & Switch, Bleak Sword DX expands on the critically acclaimed Apple Arcade version with elegant controls, three new game modes, and multiple gameplay and graphical improvements.

Through twelve tense and deeply atmospheric chapters, heroes must lift the curse of the legendary Bleak Sword by striking down all manner of horrifying creatures across an oppressive world wielding fierce weaponry and powerful magic.

This striking experience is scored by award-winning composer Jim Guthrie, with sound provided by famed designer Joonas Turner.

BRUTAL NEW GAME MODES
  • DX includes all original Bleak Sword chapters plus the three DLC chapters complete with new level and enemy layouts.
  • Randomizer throws players into a remixed version of the original game where levelling up or facing bosses in order is not guaranteed.
  • Boss Rush challenges players to face all 12 bosses back to back, with only one health bar!
DYNAMIC GAMEPLAY IMPROVEMENTS
New attacks, parries and counters complement a streamlined control system designed specifically for PC & console, while enhanced enemy AI makes them more unpredictable.

STUNNING GRAPHICAL ENHANCEMENTS
New post processing effects, adaptive depth of field and a series of filters give Bleak Sword DX a fresh lick of paint, while particle effects, foliage and weather enhancements bring a new level of atmosphere and immersion to the world.
There's a demo for the game available now as part of Steam Next Fest you can grab right here. Given the demo timing we expect this one want be far off from a full release, but for now we've only been given the window of "2023", so stay tuned.
