The Phoenix Blood

The Phoenix Blood is a 2.5D action role-playing video game designed by Nick Burton, developed by Surgeworks and published by Sparklight Interactive. It was released on October 30th, 2015 for the Anima, the Playstation 4, the Xbox One and Microsoft Windows. It was later released as a launch title for the Fusion on January 14th, 2016. The game takes place is the formerly great lands of Ilryia, a kingdom which fell due to the spread of The Phoenix Blood. The Phoenix Blood is a mystical substance which, upon becoming part of a living being, either corrupts them or makes them nigh-immortal. The player takes on the role of the Bearer of the Phoenix Blood, a person who the blood accepted and hence gained the ability to be repeatedly reborn. The Bearer is fully customizable in terms of looks.
Gameplay takes place on a 2D plane, although all environments are in 2D. Combat is the main focus of gameplay, and is designed to be moderately complex and rewarding. It revolves almost entirely around swordplay, with some supportive magic to use alongside the main sword. The player will traverse many interconnected areas, most of which hosting multiple enemies and a boss. The direct story is about the Bearer trying to remove themselves from the Phoenix Blood, although there are many secrets hidden throughout the game world that give details on the fall of Ilryia and the beings that inhabited it.
