Stellar Blade story

Stellar Blade follows the story of Paratrooper Eve, a member of the Seventh Airborn Squad, whose objective is to reclaim Earth from the NA:tive. These mysterious creatures have ravaged humanity to the edge of extinction, and players are invited to put a stop to them before it’s too late.

Set in the future, humans depend on robotic upgrades to survive against NA:tive.

But not everything is as it seems; soon enough, Eve discovers strange rumors while exploring the ruins of humanity and has to face different enemies to learn what’s the truth behind the battle against NA:tive.

Stellar Blade is an action RPG inspired by NieR: Automata, where players will have to fight off enemies in the style of Devil Macy Cry and Bayonetta. Users will control Eve, who will gain different skills as she levels up. To do so, players will need to defeat different enemies and complete side quests that they’ll find while wandering through Xion, a post-apocalyptic human settlement.

With a photorealistic design, Shift Up’s RPG promises to guide players through a story where their choices will affect the final outcome, and with a great emphasis on timed fight combos.
