How to Play

In Blade Master, your primary objective is to traverse treacherous fantasy environments, defeat waves of ferocious monsters, and conquer powerful end-stage bosses. You control a heroic warrior equipped with lethal melee weapons, navigating through side-scrolling stages while slicing down enemies that approach from both left and right.

During moments-to-moment play, use your directional controls to move, press the attack button to execute weapon combos, and utilize the jump button to clear obstacles and evade incoming hazards. You can also unleash special area-clearing attacks by combining specific inputs, which proves vital when surrounded by hordes of enemies. Focus on maintaining distance, learning enemy attack patterns, and conserving your special abilities for tense boss encounters where precise dodging and timely strikes are essential for survival.

Browser controls and troubleshooting

If the keyboard does not respond, click the game screen first and check the actual key mappings in the player controls. Arrow keys scrolling the page can mean the game does not have input focus.

On a phone, check whether the player provides touch buttons. Try landscape or fullscreen if the controls are too small. After connecting a gamepad, press a button with the game focused and check whether the player recognizes it.

For a black screen or a stalled load, wait briefly before using Reload player or Browse games in the embedded player or play page. Reloading restarts the player and may lose unsaved progress. If no save option is available, do not rely on refreshing to preserve progress.
