Take Bakugawa back from the clutches of evil in Bloodless, out now on Steam! Forsake the blade and deliver justice with your fists in this souls-like 2D action-adventure game set in the age of the shogun.

Bloodless, created by Point N' Sheep and published by 3D Realms, provides players with an immersive pixel-art world based in the Shogun era of Japan, where they can engage in unique non-lethal combat. During the first week of release, you can get 15% off Bloodless as a launch celebration.

Imagine yourself as Tomoe, a ronin who has vowed to live a life devoid of violence in Bloodless. Tomoe, who is still reeling from her past, must face the despicable Shogun Akechi and his mighty samurai army in order to rescue her homeland, Bakugawa, from his oppression. Instead of using conventional weapons, players will unleash the full might of Tomoe's fists in brutal Souls-style combat. Battle after battle requires players to become experts at dash counters, weapon disarmament, and devastating ki-attacks.

Sacred natural areas and districts oppressed by a brutal military dictatorship are both part of the game's expansive and immersive universe. Tomoe will face the ghosts of her past and reunite with her once-allies as she sets out on her adventure. Bloodless tells a story of redemption and hope through Tomoe's efforts to rally her people to resist the Shogun's oppression.

You can try out Bloodless's unique combat and deep story in the game's free demo that's available on Steam right now.
