Blade Prince Academy will welcome new students to train to become elite soldiers, spies, and assassins.

Protect the city of Abjectalia with a real-time pause system that allows players to freeze time at their will. Blade Princes can meticulously plan their moves to deal devastating blows through powerful combos with this unique feature. Combat in Blade Prince Academy will allow you to manipulate the order and timing of each attack to plan the perfect combo among the units they are controlling.

Choices matter at the Academy. The squad players form will become more comfortable with each other as their social relationships improve, leading to bonuses during battle. There will be a roster of colorful characters with unique abilities that players can recruit to their squad. Each character also comes with their own backstory. Once a complementary squad has been established, Blade Princes will go on missions to keep Abjectalia safe. 

On top of fostering new relationships, the Academy will be where players can rest up between battles and learn over numerous unique spells. Players can use the talent tree to manage upgrades and unlock skills that give them access to more powerful spells. Blade Princes that want to embrace their dark side can also make a pact with darkness performing powerful rituals that change the abilities and skills of a character. Just keep in mind there’s always a price to pay.

A Kickstarter for Blade Prince Academy will start on May 11th, to help grow a community around the game and the world of Tenebrae. It will also fund and create community-related content in the game.  

Key Features:
