It looks like a martial-arts film you can play. Phantom Blade Zero is one of the most exciting action games in years — here is what makes it special.
Kungfupunk, explained
Developer S-GAME calls its style "Kungfupunk" — classical kung-fu combat set in a dark, stylised fantasy world. The result is combat that flows like choreography.
Aggressive by design
Unlike defensive soulslikes, Phantom Blade Zero rewards relentless offence — fast strikes, combos and momentum. It is demanding, but it wants you attacking.
Who it is for
Fans of Sekiro, Devil May Cry and Wo Long who want a fresh, gorgeous take on lethal action. Wishlist and pre-order material.
