Weave your own story in this dark fairy tale. In the mysterious ancient ruins, you will adventure with Tania to reveal her origins and fate. Is there any chance of survival in the darkest and desperate place?

AWAKEN - Astral Blade Deluxe Edition includes:

Bionic girl Tania is assigned by her creator, Dr. Herveus to search and rescue a missing Investigation team in the rainforest of Horace Islands where mysterious Karpas energy turns local animals and plants into aggressive mutants.

Slain your foes with a wide range of combos: from fastest to slowest. Parry enemy attacks to gain an advantage, use Quick Rise ability to get back into the fight and dash into enemies while they’re attacking to slow the world around you and gain damage immunity. Combos and Skills will also help you to break through hordes of enemies and defeat bosses.

Collect mysterious Aether and use it for your own benefits. Enhance Tania’s combat abilities and strength, or spend it on different skills useful in various situations. What about upgrading your weapons or trading some Aether for useful items? The choice is yours.

Don't waste your time on travel. The map is designed to save you time while exploring it. Should you have troubles in combat, you can lower the difficulty level and get some useful buffs. Tania always finds cheerful words for you even in your darkest hours. Because this is not only her story, but yours as well.
