New on Nintendo Switch: 3D Realms’ 2D Samurai Souls-like BLOODLESS

Bloodless, an action-adventure game reminiscent of 2D Souls, has been released on the Nintendo Switch today for $14.99 by 3D Realms and Point N’ Sheeps. Retake Bakugawa from Shogun Akechi through counter-based, non-lethal fighting, leaving behind disarmed opponents and taking back your land from the shogun’s bleeding grasp.

Check out the BLOODLESS Nintendo Switch Launch Trailer:

Since Ronin Tomoe in Bloodless has vowed never to draw blood again, you will confront armed opponents in brutal combat and disarm them using only her fists. Develop your own playstyle and become an expert with the dash counter to bring opponents to their knees.

When Bloodless initially launched on Steam earlier this year (check out our review!), both reviewers and players praised the action, narrative, and visual aesthetic of the game. Experience a stunning pixel-art universe while fighting to liberate Bakugawa from Shogun Akechi’s control.

Bloodless Key Features

  • Unique Non-Lethal Combat: Master a mix of deft counters and potent ki-attacks to vanquish your adversaries. Tomoe has vowed never to take another life.
  • Depth & Customization: Utilize specific ki skills to create one-of-a-kind combinations, along with improvements from crests and herb infusions that can be found all across Bakugawa.
  • Striking Environments: Discover Bakugawa’s disadvantaged neighborhoods and hallowed natural settings. Bakugawa is home to a corrupt and ruthless military dictatorship.
  • Emotional Storytelling: To give Bakugawa the bravery and hope he needs to fight back, Tomoe, who is despised by her own people and is considered a coward, must go back to her old country.
  • Extra Challenges: By gathering the Warrior Idols strewn all throughout Bakugawa and accessing the Arenas, you can test your mettle.
