What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are an independent game development team. It took two years to make "Sharp Blade". In the process of using Unreal Engine 4, we gradually explored and matured. "Blade" is a game driven by hard-core action fighting. The action elements and gameplay experience must have more players to feel and experience and give advice, which will become better. So we hope to make it better by using the pattern of preemptive experience. We will update new content every week, fix bugs, and improve the game based on player feedback. In order to thank the supporters, in the early stage of experience, the price of "Leaf" will be lower than when it is officially released.

We believe that only by actively communicating with the player community can we maximize the use of the preemptive experience model, so we will update the game frequently based on suggestions from community feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The process of preemptive experience will last for 6-9 months. We have been developing Blades for more than two years, and we think it will take these hours to complete and polish the follow-up content.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will have more and more complete game content, including team, ladder leader board and PVE game play. We will listen to the opinions of the community players and decide which features and content to add.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently the game has:
  • Three game maps
  • Can synthesize multi of equipment, armor and weapons
  • More than 100 items that can be found
  • Explore, fight, escape, and synthesize system

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Early Access phase will pay less. We plan to increase the price after the game is officially released.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Collaboration with the community is the core the "Blade" . In the early access stage, we will work with the community to improve the game in the following areas.

Content:
Community members will be able to suggest their own understanding and understanding of each weapon's movement optimization.

Balance:
A vibrant community can best find a strategy to break the balance. By listening to the players, the balance of the game will continue to be fine-tuned.

Suggest:
We welcome all comments and feedback and will carefully consider all comments. Perhaps the new weapons and moves you design will also appear in the game!

Error:
In the past year we have fixed a lot of bugs with the help of internal test players, and then there will be a lot of new content to join, so the emergence of new errors is inevitable. We will try to eliminate all errors so that Players can enjoy the game better.”
