Gameplay

Blade Chimera is a 2D side-scrolling action game with Metroidvania gameplay, with elements of the exploration-heavy Metroid series and the combat-centric Castlevania series.[1] The player plays as Shin, a warrior equipped with a plasma blaster, and Lux, a demon who takes the form of the magical Lumina Sword and aids Shin with abilities like generating a shield.[2][3] After the player learns the warp skill, they can fast-travel to almost anywhere on the map.[4]

Development and release

Blade Chimera was developed by Team Ladybug, which were behind Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, Touhou Luna Nights, and Drainus.[1][4] The developer's previous games influenced the character design of Blade Chimera, where every character has their sense of justice and each is sympathetic. The developer put effort into the game's backgrounds to make the 2D world more immersive.[4]

The game was released on 16 January 2025 for Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows.[3]
