Resonant Blade is a new rhythm hack-and-slash hybrid from developer Wombat Games. A new trailer has announced that the pixel art title will be released on Steam on the 22nd of July 2025. There are plans to bring the game to consoles in the future as well. The solo dev is getting set to launch their debut game, which uses rhythm-based button presses that control when you pull off moves to defeat, block, or parry the enemies.
In Resonant Blade, players will battle a horde of AI-powered robots hellbent on destruction by wielding the ultimate sound-based weapon, solving resonance-based puzzles, and exploring a shattered sci-fi world teetering on the edge of silence. They’ll also step into the shoes of Atlas — a former scientist turned soldier, driven to fight after the Dark Synths decimated the world of Terra.
Key Features:
- Listen and Adapt: Match your Resonant Tones to defeat enemies and solve puzzles. A keen ear will benefit you in the battle against the Dark Synths.
- Journey Through a Dissonant Landscape: Navigate through four dangerous dungeons and defeat six challenging bosses throughout your epic adventure on the planet Terra.
- Modulate Your Moves: Dash, parry, and modulate Resonant Tones to exploit enemy weaknesses. Harmonize three Resonant Tones to unleash devastating Triad abilities to deliver the finishing blow.
- Form New Frequencies: Unlock new Resonant Tones to power up the Resonant Blade and discover new ways to outperform your foes.
- Improvise Your Own Action-Packed Musical Style: Customize your gameplay with a variety of mods, creating a unique approach to combat that fits your personal style.
