Bladepoint

Bladepoint is a free-to-play battle royale game developed and published by NetEase Games. It was released in June 2021 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5, with a mobile version also available. The game features a distinct martial arts-inspired combat system that emphasizes melee weapons and agile movement. Players choose from a roster of unique heroes, each possessing different abilities and ultimate skills, adding a layer of strategic depth to the typical battle royale formula.

The gameplay loop involves players dropping onto a large map, scavenging for weapons, armor, and items, and engaging in combat with other players. The safe zone gradually shrinks, forcing players into closer proximity. Bladepoint differentiates itself with its emphasis on close-quarters combat, incorporating mechanics like parrying, dodging, and grappling hooks. The aesthetic blends traditional Asian fantasy elements with futuristic technology. The game aims to provide a fast-paced and visually striking battle royale experience.
