What is Rayless Blade?

In Rayless Blade you explore a secluded island ruled by an evil authority. It’s up to you and your party to bring freedom to its people. The game is packed with a hi-bit pixel art aesthetic and a variety of mechanics. Firstly, the game’s combat style aims to combine the real-time elements of Undertale with traditional JRPG turn-based combat. You operate a party of 4, upgrading your team with new gear and even unlocking special skills for your character.

Additionally, you can find hidden areas, and hunt monsters for rare treasures. Moreover, the actions you take can have serious consequences. For example, some characters may reject you or even become a foe if you make the wrong choices. If this all sounds incredibly exciting to you – how could it not – but you’re still not sure, don’t worry. We’ve broken down some of its best features in a neat little list for you:

  • Undertale meets JRPG combat style
  • Solve puzzles, find rare gear, and explore a gorgeous open-world
  • Make and lose allies based on your choices
  • A variety of combat class types: Dark Knight, Magic Knight, Strider, Rebounder, Dragon Slayer
  • A story that explores Superdeterminism and quantum mechanics
