Blending strategic gameplay with a brutal, calculated touch, each weapon in Die by the Blade

With 7
playable characters, all with their own unique backstories, alongside a wide range of customisation options, players have the chance to tailor their cosmetic style before testing their mettle across game modes including tournaments, ranked online modes and more (to be revealed soon!)
