Stray Blade is an action role-playing video game developed by Point Blank Games and published by 505 Games in 2023.
The adventurer Farren West dies while seeking the Lost Valley of Acrea but is resurrected later by a talking wolf named Boji. Players control West, who can be customized to be either male or female, and attempt to free themselves from the control of a crystal Boji used to resurrect West. Stray Blade is a Soulslike. Players must dodge or parry attacks in combat.[2] Enemies indicate their next attack by flashing a color: blue attacks can be parried, while red attacks must be dodged. To attack, players need enough stamina, which they recover by perfectly timed parries and dodges. Players can also execute combos. After defeating bosses, players gain special abilities that they can use to customize their character through a skill tree. Boji assists players in combat and has his own skills.[3]
