Developed by the Finnish two-man team Muro Studios, the expansive world of DOOMBLADE was perfected over five years. Its creators poured their love and talent into every nook and cranny of the vast DOOMBLADE universe. Genre-typical, there are many power-ups and secrets to be found in this massive world, spanning seven interconnected and distinct biomes.
With DOOMBLADE and his powers, Gloom and Doom make their way to free the Lowlands and exact revenge against the Dread Lords. The level and enemy encounters are designed with fast-paced movement in mind. A soundtrack by Brian Skeel will surely get your blood pumping and set the mood for some serious Fly & Slash action.
