You can register for early access on PlayBlades.com.The new title has several modes to play, like Abyss, which is a rogue-like experience. Arena is where you can do battle one-vs-one against other players. But the main mode is The Town, which is your hub for stories and quests.You play as a member of the Blades, an exile who returns to your town to find it in trouble. The game will have its own story and Howard described it as a \"massive\" RPG with console quality graphics.There are several ways to play the game on mobile, like tapping the screen to move. It can also be played using a digital analog stick on the left side of the screen. Combat is intuitive as well, with several ways to use weapons like swords.
