Blade Arts is a fantasy adventure with lots and lots of combat where players take on the role of a hero who often finds himself battling several vicious enemies at once. Focused on fast, non-stop hack-and-slash action, Blade Arts follows a developed storyline and cinematic cut-scenes to help move the plot, along with a third-person fighting perspective and a lock-on targeting system that allows players to concentrate on dealing out as much damage as possible.
