Die by the Blade is a demanding 3D fighting game, in which we die from one hit on the vital point and the gameplay style depends on the weapon held by the hero.
Die by the Blade is an arcade 1-on-1 fighting game with a high level of difficulty, in which we die from one blow. Triple Hill Interactive, an independent studio, is responsible for the game, simultaneously working on Underflow space strategy.
Die by the Blade is a game in which, unlike other brawlers, we do not see a bar showing the points of life, because here every hit on the vital point is fatal. This is not an innovative approach to the genre, as it has already been used, for example in the cult Bushido Blade, which has inspired the creators. However, this approach to combat makes it much more tactical, because it requires us to feel the enemy's movements in order to skillfully pair and avoid the blade at the right time.
The skirmishes differ in dynamics and level of difficulty, depending on several factors. At the beginning of the battle we choose how many rounds it will consist of, depending on our needs and our ability to get into the fight. We also choose one of the 10 characters available in the game, as well as the weapon it will carry, because in Die by the Blade the heroes do not fight using the default weapon but the one we have chosen. These are typical of Asian countries and include katana, naginata, chokuto, yari or wakizashi. Each weapon is different and has its advantages and disadvantages. Some have a greater range, but with the cost of speed and agility of the characters, others are short and lightweight blades allowing for very fast blows, but require a close approach to the enemy, but also those that are average in all respects.
In the game there is also a possibility to adjust the appearance of a large number of elements to distinguish our heroes from others.
Die by the Blade offers a single player campaign, but also skirmishes with other people. Including local 1-on-1 mode and online skirmishes. You will also find Practice Mode, for free training, various types of tournaments and rankings of the best online players.
The game offers a mix of classical and medieval backgrounds and elements inspired by the Sengoku era, along with a futuristic vision of the Japanese warrior set against the background of neon metropolises.

Game Ratings for Die by the Blade Video Game.
Lords Of Gaming : 6.8 / 10 by Mahmood Ghaffar
The Way of the Blade is a difficult journey and tenacious. Despite Die by the Blade sporting an addictive and pulsating one-strike-kill combat, it is not enough to gloss over the other glaring shortcomings. From unpolished graphics, stingy reward payouts to the lack of game modes, the game has a lot going against it. However, the blade isn’t dull yet, and Die by the Blade can sharpen into a formidable contender with time.
Try Hard Guides: 8 / 10 by Erik Hodges
Die By The Blade delivers fast-paced, deadly skill-heavy combat for players to master in 1v1 battles. While not perfectly balanced, the game features some awesome cosmetics and exciting gameplay that will surely hook fans of the genre in for the long haul.
MKAU Gaming: 8 / 10 by Shane Walsh
The combat was something I rather enjoyed as it is the star of the show and is impacted little by the character you picked. It is the blade chosen to use in combat instead, from a range of traditional Japanese blades to defining your move sets and playstyle.
