Rhythm Blade is an arena-based brawler. Your characters get assaulted from multiple angles by bad guys, and your job is to take them out before they'd do the same to you. You may be greatly outnumbered, BUT you have one important asset on your side: The soundtrack! By listening to the music playing and timing your attacks to the beat of the song, you will unleash powerful attacks to overcome your foes. Different attacks are tied to different notes, so timing and positioning plays an important role. NOTE: As of this time of writing, all in-game assets are temporary. I do not intend this game to be a game about a ninja battling other ninja's.
As mentioned in the 'pirate ship' concept art, I'd like the stages to be diverse. So, one of the things that I would also like to see is the player being ambushed by a sorcerer and her minions. Why would the main character be on a pirate ship one moment, and then suddenly be ambushed by fantasy creatures? For that, I'd like to go with 'He simply does'. He's just this guy who finds himself mixed up into all sorts of random adventures.
