  • The only things I need are some sort of stamina stat so I can attack more, and easier blocking. 5★, Aug 3, 2025
  • Sad to say I beat the game, and I wish there was more story content after the bleak realm to level up the character more. 4★, Oct 25, 2024
  • i think having unique items would add a ton of variety and replayability to an otherwise pretty solid game 4★, Jul 17, 2023
  • Please add this in an update. 3★, Feb 16, 2023
  • It would be great to see a sequel or update with different classes, more than two equipment slots, and of course be longer. 5★, Jan 11, 2023
  • This is one of the best games I played with action, story, and mystery… but can you add different weapons like bows and arrows? 5★, Nov 21, 2022

Pain

Fun, but way too difficult. Every death just causes you to lose everything and in 20 minutes, I had died like 40 times!

★★★★★Jul 5, 2026
Best game that has been made in a LONG time

Bleak Sword is AWESOME, I love how everything is in a 2-D pixelated style, the game is time consuming and fun. This game is such an energetic game that i will continue to play forever! Keep up the good work, Devolver!

★★★★★Jul 2, 2026
Blake sword two

This was one of the best games I’ve ever played. Please make a second one please please

★★★★★May 29, 2026
Equipped Items in INVENTORY!

I really enjoy the pixel art and simplicity of the game. Equipped items should not take up space in your inventory. If I put on a glove, necklace, or ring it does not take up space in my pocket or bag BECAUSE IT ISN’T THERE ANYMORE. I’m also not a big fan of losing ALL MY EXPERIENCE. Half would make sense, but not all. The only truly unique thing about this game is that it doesn’t follow traditional rule so it’s more annoying. I suppose that makes it a wannabe Darksouls-like.

★★★★★Apr 19, 2026
Shout out to the creators

This the first game i played in a long time that had substance to it.. and its a mobile game at that. Felt like i was a wi lad again on the gameboy/PSP something i haven’t had in a long time because game companies no longer put love into their games but with this game thats not the case. I will say though i wish there were more options for controls because it feels unresponsive at times I’m not sure if its me or not but both 1 and 2 hand controls felt unresponsive at times which was very frustrating i almost threw my phone through my bedroom wall a few times but i guess that just might be a necessary part of the experience lol

Developed by more8bit Bleak Sword is a dark fantasy action game tasking players to struggle across compact, cursed diorama battlefields.
