About Blades of Time
Blades of Time follows Ayumi, a gun‑and‑sword wielding treasure hunter, as she explores an ancient island infused with Chaos magic and populated by hostile monsters. The game blends action‑adventure combat, puzzle solving, and a visually diverse world that ranges from snowy valleys to sky‑bound islands.
Players can experience a single‑player story, join friends in co‑op, or compete in PvP through the dedicated Outbreak mode. Steam integration adds achievements, cloud saves, leaderboards, and family sharing, while the title runs on Windows and macOS with partial controller support.
01 / THE GUIDE
Time Rewind
Ayumi can rewind time, a mechanic described as helping her solve puzzles and fight armies of monsters. The ability encourages experimentation in both combat and environmental challenges.
Because rewinding returns the game to a prior moment, players can try alternative attack sequences or puzzle solutions immediately after a failure. This creates a loop of action and correction that shapes the pacing of encounters and exploration.
- Use rewind after a failed combo to test a different attack order.
- Apply rewind on puzzle sections to experiment with solutions without leaving the area.

Outbreak Mode
Outbreak is a special mode that offers both cooperative (Co‑op) and player‑versus‑player (PvP) experiences. It offers multiplayer combat where players can face off with friends or opponents.
The mode is listed alongside the single‑player features, indicating that it is an additional option rather than a replacement for the story. Players can choose to enter Outbreak to engage with friends or opponents.
- Coordinate with teammates in Co‑op to combine combo attacks for higher damage.
- Observe opponents' movements in PvP to anticipate their attacks.

Combat System
The combat system features over 40 distinct combo attacks and spells from various magic schools, giving Ayumi a broad toolkit against enemies. These tools are presented as ways to defeat all foes that stand in her way.
Timing and sequencing are emphasized; chaining attacks and spells creates longer combos that can increase damage against monster hordes. The variety encourages players to experiment with different combinations to find effective strategies.
- Experiment with different spell schools to find combos that complement melee attacks.
- Practice chaining shorter combos before attempting longer sequences.

World Exploration
The game world includes diverse landscapes such as snowy valleys, dense jungles, ancient cities, temples, and sky islands, providing visual variety and distinct terrain features. These environments are described as “fantastic landscapes” that populate the island.
Ayumi’s ability to speed herself up lets her quickly navigate these areas, chase enemies, or flee pursuers. The speed ability interacts with the varied terrain, making travel across the world an active part of gameplay.
- Use the speed ability to reach high platforms on sky islands quickly.
- Explore each biome for hidden visual details and optional encounters.

Steam Integration
Blades of Time supports Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, Steam Leaderboards, and Family Sharing. These features allow progress to be stored online, scores to be compared globally, and the game to be shared with other accounts on the same device.
The integration does not modify core gameplay; it simply provides additional ways to track performance and maintain saved data across sessions. Players can enable cloud saves to keep their progress synchronized.
- Check the Leaderboards to gauge how your combat scores compare globally.
- Enable Cloud saves to keep progress synchronized across devices.
