Unique to Stray Blade compared to other games of the genre is its changing world. Change is part of the journey and every victory leaves a mark on the world. Time keeps moving forward even when players die. Then, players will be able to revisit the places of former victory and experience the changes they bring to the world. These changes give players an evolving experience as the game's difficulty and challenge adapts to the player's battles in victory and in defeat.

Story

Stray Blade takes place in the ancient Lost Valley of Acrea, where the player character awakens after being left for dead. The player is a mercenary that finds themselves setting foot and getting stuck in the valley. Here, they meet the mysterious Boji, the apprentice to the greatest sage of Acrea, who admittedly looks a lot like the critter from BIOMUTANT. Now, the two will be relying on each other, through victory and through the cycle of death and resurrection, to find a way to unbind themselves and escape Acrea.
