Thousand Blades

Thousand Blades is a weapon-based fantasy fighting game developed and published by Aozora made exclusively for the Sony PlayStation Vita.

Story
For unknown reasons, warriors from all over the world have appeared in each other's realms, and cannot escape until the other is defeated. Because of the these incidents, these warriors have no choice but to fight against each other wether they want to or not. Now, until each and every one of these warriors are defeated and has left one last standing, none of these warriors can escape these strange stages of duels.

Gameplay
Thousand Blades has a gameplay style very similar to the Soul series, using the 3D 8-way-run style mechanics. As with many fighting games, players choose a character from a lineup, and engage in combat with an opponent in 1-on-1 matches.

Like Castlevania Judgment, each character utilizes different weapons and has interactive environments in the stages (this can be turned off or on when choosing the stage); also, traps could be set up to attack the other player. Unlike other fighting games, the stages of the selected characters combine when in gameplay, splitting the stage into one half of the stage being the first player's character's stage and the other half being the second player's character's stage, but because of this, the stages cannot be selected manually and also making the selected characters having to be in their stage.
