About Switchblade
INSTRUCTIONS:
SWITCHBLADE - GAME DESCRIPTION :
On the cyber world of Thraxx, Havok has returned.
After 10.000 years of peace, the Fireblade, source of power for the
ancient Bladeknights, has shattered.
The night burned red, and the people of the Undercity fell beneath the
onslaught of Havok's nightmare creations.
Helpness, the Bladeknights died alongside their people.
Only one of their order survived.
You play Hiro, the last of the Bladeknights, a hi-tech warrior armed
with steaith, cunning and a powerful reprogrammable cyber-arm.
You must enter the Undercity and reassemble the sixteen fragments of
the shattered Fireblade.
Only then will you be able to take on Havok and average the death of
your people.
THE OBJECT OF THE GAME :
You must guide Hiro, the Bladeknight through the labyrinth of the
Undercity, to recover the 16 fragments of the shattered Fireblade. Once
you have collected all 16 fragments, you must use it to defeat Havok,
to bring to an end his reign of terror and to avenge your people.
This is a side scroller beat'em up platformer with a bit of metroidvania genre on it!

What Steam players say

✦ AI summary
Switchblade is a challenging Amiga-era action game with Metroidvania elements and hidden secrets that appeals to retro enthusiasts, but players are divided on its accessibility and controls—some find it rewarding while others struggle with clunky, controller-unfriendly mechanics that feel outdated by modern standards.
It's Switchblade ! An underrated gem from the Amiga era. This is a nicely challenging game with plenty of secrets items and rooms. It has a similar feel to some Metroidvania games too. If this sounds up your alley, you'll really enjoy it. The Steam version is the homebrew Genesis port playing on an emulator, which is arguably one of the best versions. It comes with the game's ROM, so you can boot it in your favorite emulator like RetroArch or Kega Fusion as well.13 found this helpful
SwitchBlade is an Amiga game that is very hard to control and i wish it was fun but it is diabolically terrible. It's not the worst game i've played by yesteryear's standard but today's standard? Yeah it's bad 2/10 can't use a controller even with steam input on1 found this helpful
