There has been a surge of games in the past few years that offer players a highly polished combat system, bearing one or several distinguishing mechanics while offering enough versatility to let players experiment with their play style.

Although some have been lucky enough to give Phantom Blade Zero a hands-on look, the game's broader prospective audience has had few chances to see straight-up gameplay representative of its full product. It seems that this title's developers are aware of that and have decided that January 21 is the right time to share more. Seeing gameplay is important to gamers in general, but it matters a bit more for Phantom Blade Zero because of its heavy emphasis on realizing an ambitious combat system.
Because most have only had a glance at it, Phantom Blade Zero has been compared to Sekiro and Soulslikes quite often, but S-Game assures those interested that these similarities end at the aesthetic and map design. Those who have played Phantom Blade Zero have described the title as reminiscent of classics like Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden, but they seem to agree that the more it shows off, the more this game distinguishes itself. Plenty of people are looking forward to seeing everything Phantom Blade Zero has to offer its players.
