Recently, the title’s latest gameplay video got a lot of newfound attention, thanks to its animations and combat mechanics that seem quite promising. User Agent4709 has well-worded the community’s collective sentiments.

So far, the game has presented a “kung-fu punk” sense of aesthetic, which is quickly gaining the attention and hope of many players who have been enjoying third-person action games but would like to see a tinge of variety and novelty in the genre.

The gameplay shows off the character pulling off some impressive parkour moves and using structures/architecture around as an ally in combat. Now, this is something you usually don’t get to see in combat-heavy games.

Even though the game isn’t out yet, all the content that we’ve seen so far mixes a variety of themes that are gripping and awe-inspiring. From intricate machinery and towering structures to an ongoing narrative that focuses on dystopian stories, there’s a lot to look forward to here.

One thing that stands out is how cinematic the game’s combat feels. Every time you cross paths with an enemy, there’s a sense of well-curated choreography that serves as the foundation for the game’s combat system.

The dynamic camera transitions and impressive visuals build an aura that’s hard to ignore, no matter how many Soulslike games you may have played in the past. Hopefully, Phantom Blade Zero will turn out to be as good as fans are wishing it to be.
