New Blade Prince Academy Demo Now Available for Steam Strategy Fest
/Developer Angel Corp and publisher Firesquid announced that they have a new demo for their upcoming tactical RPG Blade Prince Academy for the ongoing Steam’s Strategy Fest happening from August 28 to September 4.
The new demo is set to give players a better idea of the game’s combat by equipping everyone with all the features planned for the game.
The demo will feature two missions right after you’ve learned how to play the game through its tutorial and you can even play the game with others to form a squad of four.
This tactical RPG is more than just combat as players can explore the school filled with assassins to form bonds and relationships to eventually assist them in battle.
Here’s a full list of features for Blade Prince Academy.
Features
Talent Tree: Manage upgrades and unlock skills to improve the Princes. As you gain more experience, you will earn access to more powerful spells.
Pacts: Heroes can be endowed with Pacts, granting them both negative and positive effects. This system innovates in the accumulation of Pacts and cursed marks, allowing for the development of powerful yet flawed heroes.
Campus Exploration: Go to the lab to brew up potions to take out on your next mission or relax in the nursery to regain your health!
Real-time With Pause Combat: Pause time during combat to strategically plan out every single movement and attack for your squad. Deal punishing blows to enemies by combining attacks and abilities with the right effects to generate powerful combos.
Unique Characters: Assemble a squad of different heroes, each with their own unique strengths, weaknesses, and backstories.
Relationships: The choices made throughout your journey will impact the Blade Princes and how they feel about each other. This will affect their lives as well as impact which strategy will be the best to adopt.
Spell Load-out: Equip characters with the game’s arsenal of spells to find the perfect strategy for the missions ahead.
Challenging Boss Fights: Protect the city of Abjectalia from hordes of villains like vampires, rebels, cultists, and more all with terrifying powers that will require you to have complete mastery of the combat system.
Blade Prince Academy still has no Steam release date.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
