The borders protected by the fierce King’s Knights are no longer secure. The fearsome orc clans, more numerous than ever, lurk on all roads. The proud nomadic peoples of the steppes are on the alert, for strange beasts prowl the darkness. Not even the stout dwarves, hidden in their underground palaces, seem safe from threat – from the unknown tunnels of its mines, a foul army of hideous creatures advances inexorably. Chaos seizes the World. Only the memory of the oldest recalls the exploits of a hero and a few warriors, who in other times fought against the forces of Chaos. Ianna, the mother of all living beings, gave the hero a powerful sword to enter the abyss and defeat evil. But that happened a long time ago. A new hero is needed, a chosen one who is worthy to wield the Sword and destroy the enemy… this time forever. ## [](#four-playable-characters)FOUR PLAYABLE CHARACTERS Pick your Champion of Ianna — Tukaram, the Barbarian; Naglfar, the Dwarf; Sargon, the Knight; or Zoe, the Amazon — each with unique strengths, weaknesses, and fighting skills, as you hack ‘n slash your way through a blood-drenched quest to save the world from the forces of Chaos. ### [](#a-detailed-dark-fantasy-world)A DETAILED & DARK FANTASY WORLD Battle orcs, trolls, golems, demons, skeletons, and scores of malevolent enemy creatures as you explore treacherous tombs, frozen fortresses, demon spires, deserts, temples, and palaces. ### [](#interactive-environments)INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENTS Destroy in-game objects with fire or your fists as you solve puzzles and disarm traps that combine physics, hydraulic systems, and lethal traps! **RE-RELEASE OF A TRUE GENRE-DEFINING GAME** We are happy to bring Blade of Darkness back to life, an enduring classic that, at the time of its release, inspired many games in the action-adventure genre through its approach to combat. ### Release info - Blade of Darkness Release date 2022-11-24 00:00:00 Publisher SNEG Demo available DLC available Max players 1 Age rating 16 NS Online support Cloud Saves support Voice Chat support HD Rumble support Languages japanese, english, spanish, french, german, italian, portuguese, russian, korean, chinese Genres action, adventure, fighting, rpg ### Nintendo eShop - Blade of Darkness [EUR 14.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/NL/nl/titles/70010000060968/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 14.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/BE/nl/titles/70010000060968/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 14.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/DE/de/titles/70010000060968/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 14.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/FR/fr/titles/70010000060968/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [GBP 13.49](https://ec.nintendo.com/GB/en/titles/70010000060968/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [USD 14.99](https://www.nintendo.com/US/store/products/blade-of-darkness-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [CAD 19.99](https://www.nintendo.com/en-ca/store/products/blade-of-darkness-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 14.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/IT/it/titles/70010000060968/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [MXN 199.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-mx/store/products/blade-of-darkness-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 14.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/PT/pt/titles/70010000060968/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [EUR 14.99](https://ec.nintendo.com/ES/es/titles/70010000060968/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [ARS 1199.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-ar/store/products/blade-of-darkness-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [BRL 39.0](https://www.nintendo.com/pt-br/store/products/blade-of-darkness-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [CLP 6900.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-cl/store/products/blade-of-darkness-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [COP 38000.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-co/store/products/blade-of-darkness-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) [PEN 29.0](https://www.nintendo.com/es-pe/store/products/blade-of-darkness-switch/?utm_source=nintendoreporters.com&utm_medium=releases&utm_campaign=game-price-overview) Show me all prices!
