AALBORG, Denmark – 17 September, 2024 – 3D Realms and Point N’ Sheeps’ hidden gem, Bloodless, is launching onto Nintendo Switch on October 10. Join Tomoe, a ronin who relinquished her blade, on a retro-stylized 2D souls-like adventure. Disarm your enemies in non-lethal combat as you fight to take Bakugawa, Tomoe’s homeland, back from the bloody hands of Shogun Akechi. Bloodless launched to positive critical and user reviews on Steam earlier this summer and has a demo available now on Steam.
In Bloodless, you’ve relinquished your sword and sworn to never draw blood again. Engage your former allies at a disadvantage using only your bare hands to disarm them in hard-hitting, non-lethal combat. Master the dash counter and customize your playstyle to unleash devastating attacks and bring your foes to their knees. Explore Bakugawa’s beautifully rendered pixel-art world as you battle to free it from the clutches of Shogun Akechi and bring peace to the land you once called home.
Key Features
- Unique Non-Lethal Combat: Tomoe has sworn not to take another life – master a combination of disarming counters and powerful ki-attacks to defeat your enemies.
- Depth & Customization: Use special ki techniques for unique combos, as well as enhancements from crests and herb infusions you’ll find across the land of Bakugawa.
