Phantom Blade: Executioners is a martial arts hero action game with dark overtones, and impressive character transformations.
You play as a member of the “Organization” and upon receiving an alarming SOS, learn that a close friend’s brother was transformed into an eight-armed monstrosity that began killing his comrades. The culprit? A mysterious new body modification technique known as Sha-Chi that when abused, can transform the human host into a nightmarish killing machine.
All of the bosses of PBEX are Sha-Chi modified–some by choice, while others are doomed to be imprisoned by this fate.
Where does the Sha-Chi Mod come from? What is the source and motivation behind this sinister power? A mysterious feud of three legendary clans is gradually unveiled as you dig deeper and discover the truth is bigger and more disturbing than you could possibly imagine.
Phantom Blade: Executioners is the third installment in the acclaimed series from Chinese action game developer S-Games. Game highlights include:
Comprehensive Character Development
Behind each character is a deep backstory. Here’s a glimpse of some of the headliners:
Protagonists
Soul is the youngest son of the Dark Castle of Mo who had disappeared for many years, but has returned. Mu Xiaokui is the young master of the Organization. Zuo Shang is the youngest son rescued by the maid of Mrs. Long before the Long Clan is destroyed. Xianzhe is a messenger of the Organization with Xukong as her only master. They are all loyal to the Organization because of their ties to Mu Tianmiao, its leader, and are intertwined by chance encounters, conspiracies, and deceptions soon to be revealed.
Bosses
Tang Li studied martial arts assiduously, but always felt inferior. Tempted by the Sha-Chi Mod, the gloomy 27-year-old lost control and became a hideous monster with countless arms. Xie Huichin decided to focus on the medical arts because he believed it was more heroic, before he transformed. Monk Dinghai is racked with guilt for assisting Ningyuan in the development of the Forbidden Tech. Dugu Linghe got caught up in a tragic and complicated relationship with Mister Li. In despair, she met a mysterious man in white and accepted the Sha-Chi Mod.
Your Choices Affect the Story
Make difficult decisions to alter the course of events. Will you lie to a young girl looking for her father? Telling her he’s going to be ok when you know full well that he’s not? How about intervening between two feuding brothers? The choices are yours.
Freestyle Skills and Killer Combos
During combat players can create different skill chain combos according to their preferences. Long chains, short bursts, and other skills can be easily adjusted. To unleash a skill chain, you’ll need to make sure your timing is right, and may stack Phantom bonuses on each of your character’s unique skills to improve attributes.
Phantom Bonuses and Stories
Phantoms are related to the characters and story in the game and each time you acquire a new Phantom or upgrade one, you unlock a Phantom story. These Phantom stories may impact your decision-making and affect how you play out certain scenarios by providing additional story context for each character.
Plenty of Loot
Earn equipment and Phantoms after winning battles. Equipment attributes are random and players can mix and match their gear to suit their playing style and aesthetic. Highly-coveted Sin Gears are obtained in Purge Dungeons. Purify Sin Gear to enhance it further. And most loot can be produced in battle.
