News: A new indy game is set to hit consoles and PC later this year when Shadow Blade: Reload is released from Dead Mage.

Dead Mage has revealed that their latest game, Shadow Blade: Reload will be arriving on consoles, PC and the PS Vita a little later this year. Shadow Blade: Reload is a fast paced action platformer where you play as Kuro, the last remaining Ninja of his clan, guiding him through challenging levels, around countless traps, sneaking past enemies or right over their dead bodies. You have to be fast, be stealthy, be aware of your environment.

The story is about a young ninja, Kuro. He is well-trained by a great master of an ancient clan and finds himself facing invaders from rival clans encroaching on their guild. By order of his master, he escapes to protect his clan's relic from the invaders. On his return, he finds himself in the midst of a power play amongst clan masters and a secret kept for millennia. In the end, not only his fate, but the fate of the world rests on his actions.

Some features of the game include:
