[April 18, 2023] - Blade Prince Academy will welcome new students to train to become elite soldiers, spies, and assassins. Take control of highly-trained magical combatants in this anime-inspired tactical RPG. Protect the city of Abjectalia with a real-time pause system that allows players to freeze time at their will. Blade Princes can meticulously plan their moves to deal devastating blows through powerful combos with this unique feature. Combat in Blade Prince Academy will allow you to manipulate the order and timing of each attack to plan the perfect combo among the units they are controlling.
Choices matter at the Academy. The squad players form will become more comfortable with each other as their social relationships improve, leading to bonuses during battle. There will be a roster of colorful characters with unique abilities that players can recruit to their squad. Each character also comes with their own backstory. Once a complementary squad has been established, Blade Princes will go on missions to keep Abjectalia safe.
On top of fostering new relationships, the Academy will be where players can rest up between battles and learn over numerous unique spells. Players can use the talent tree to manage upgrades and unlock skills that give them access to more powerful spells. Blade Princes that want to embrace their dark side can also make a pact with darkness performing powerful rituals that change the abilities and skills of a character. Just keep in mind there’s always a price to pay.
Main Features:
- Talent Tree: Manage upgrades and unlock skills to improve the Princes. As you gain more experience, you will earn access to more powerful spells.
- Pacts: Heroes can be endowed with Pacts, granting them both negative and positive effects. This system innovates in the accumulation of Pacts and cursed marks, allowing for the development of powerful yet flawed heroes.
- Real-time With Pause Combat: Pause time during combat to strategically plan out every single movement and attack for your squad. Deal punishing blows to enemies by combining attacks and abilities with the right effects to generate powerful combos.
- Unique Characters: Assemble a squad of different heroes, each with their unique strengths, weaknesses, and backstories.
- Relationships: The choices made throughout your journey will impact the Blade Princes and how they feel about each other. This will affect their lives as well as impact which strategy will be the best to adopt.
- Spell Load-out: Equip characters with the game’s arsenal of over 100 spells and find the perfect strategy for the missions ahead.
- Challenging Boss Fights: Protect the city of Abjectalia from hordes of gangsters, cultists, rebels, and traffickers, all with terrifying powers that will require you to have complete mastery of the combat system.
Blade Prince Academy will be coming to Steam later this year. Wishlist the game for the latest updates from the developers. A Kickstarter for Blade Prince Academy will start on May 11th, to help grow a community around the game and the world of Tenebrae. It will also fund and create community-related content in the game.
