A playable demo of ReBlade: The Death Spiral at Bilibili World 2026 reveals a top-down roguelike with a parry system, weapon customization via IC chips, and a boss fight against a yokai named Zhang Yu Ge. Developer ChillyRoom, known for Soul Knight, has been working on the game for three years with a team of seven and is in its final stages.
The demo of ReBlade: The Death Spiral at Bilibili World 2026 puts its parry system front and center. Almost every attack, including ranged projectiles and area-effect bombs, can be deflected with a well-timed guard. The weapon system uses IC chips that slot into weapons to modify traits and skills, and higher-rarity weapons have more slots. The boss in the demo, Zhang Yu Ge, alternates between humanoid kicks and tentacle slams, with parries building up a suppressed state that doubles damage. ChillyRoom CEO Li Zeyang told 4Gamer the game has been in development for about three years with a team of seven and is close to release.
