Catch Every Update, Anytime, Anywhere
Eight handcrafted regions
This is not an open-world game or start to finish Linear world game. Instead, it will feature eight interconnected regions and each level is handcrafted.
Every area will connect with each other naturally and will provide a seamless experience that is filled with many secrets and optional content.
You can discover hidden enemies, side quests and valuable treasures. Locations can be unlocked, and with the help of fast travel, known as Bells, you can easily return to old areas.
The world map is hand-painted and inspired by traditional Chinese ink wash art.
Boss battles & four difficulty levels in Phantom Blade Zero
There is no doubt that the combat is the main focus and most highlighted thing about this game.
The game will provide three standard difficulty options and if you want even a greater challenge, then you can go for the special “66 Days” mode. In this mode, you only have 66 lives to complete the entire game.
The possibility of an encounter with a boss also increases greatly on Hellwalker difficulty. Enemies do not follow set attack patterns, but instead engage the player in real time, adapting to the specific attacks it has seen before and punishing those it has not.
