    Gameplay

    Blades of Time features an ability called "Time Rewind", which lets the player turn back time and produces a clone that replicates the last actions the protagonist Ayumi made[2] and is vital in solving puzzles and fighting hordes of enemies.[4] The game also features a "Dash" ability which can instantly close the distance between Ayumi and her enemies, as well as travel quickly using environmental features.[4] As the game progresses, Ayumi will be able to unlock more than 40 sets of skills, including attacks and combos, as well as the powerful Order and Chaos forms of magic.[4] The game also offers both a co-op campaign and PvP features.[4]

    A dual sword-wielding treasure hunter named Ayumi (アユミ Ayumi?) finds herself stuck on a mysterious and dangerous island. While rich with bounty, the island is also caught in the throes of Chaos magic. Ayumi soon discovers that it is also the home of thousands of long-held secrets, including special powers and abilities that she can gain for herself. Using everything she can, she must find a way to defeat armies of menacing villains and a multitude of treacherous traps in order to break free of the possessed island’s grasp.[4]
