Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Stellar Blade is an upcoming epic sci-fi adventure that blends skillful combat with dystopian storytelling. The debut console release from developer Shift Up and published by Sony Interactive, the game follows protagonist Eve as she attempts to save a ravaged Earth from monsters called Naytiba.
Hyung-Tae Kim: I've many times talked about Neir: Automata being one of the inspirations, but the overall atmosphere and the vibe of Stellar Blade, it comes from all the dystopian and post-apocalyptic world contents from the '80s and the '90s that I used to enjoy and became familiar with. So to name a few, Battle Angel Alita, the comic version. Also, there's Blade Runner and Akira and many other numerous works and also a lot of Japanese anime and mangas as well.
And another reason was that because we are a Korean developer with not much of experience in global publishing of our game, it was important for us to work together with a partner who could really help us in raising our awareness. And in that way, Sony Interactive Entertainment was the best partner that we could find. And also, because of course PlayStation is one of the best platforms, that's why PlayStation 5 exclusive was important for us.
That's so cool. And has the vision for this game changed in any significant ways over the course of development? Hyung-Tae Kim: There are many different combat styles in many diverse games, but then I feel like it can be divided into two big groups of a hack and slash or soulslike battle. But then we thought that maybe we can find something in the middle that can satisfy all users and that's what we wanted to implement in the game.
For example, there is an easier mode called story mode in the game, and the mode provides action-assist. If you use this, you get help from the beginning to the end to defeat the enemies with the battle. But then this also has to do with the learning curve of the player, so by using this mode, you get to learn and get familiar with the gameplay. And then once you get used to it, once you think you learned enough, then you can return to the normal mode and then play again.
