More about this game
In Dungeon Rescue: Shadow Blade, your goal is to survive three increasingly difficult dungeon chambers to rescue your captive friend. You must defeat every shadow enemy in a room to unlock the heavy stone door leading to the next area. While normal enemies chase you down to deal contact damage, the final boss fires expanding magical waves. You start with 100 health points, and your run ends immediately if your health drops to zero before reaching the end.
Tips
- Your sword has a reach of 178 units, allowing you to hit enemies safely before they get close enough to deal their 10 contact damage.
- After taking damage, you gain 0.58 seconds of invulnerability. Use this brief window to escape from large groups of enemies without losing more health.
- The boss in the third room has 13 health points and fires expanding purple rings. Keep your distance to dodge these waves, which deal 14 damage.
Questions
How do I heal my character?
Regular enemies have an 18 percent chance to drop a red heart when defeated. Walking over this heart restores 24 health points, up to your maximum of 100.
How many enemies are in each room?
The Gatehouse starts with 4 enemies, the Ash Crypt increases the challenge with 6 enemies, and the Throne of Chains features 3 regular enemies alongside the final boss.
What happens when I defeat the boss?
When you deplete the boss's 13 health points, it drops a key pickup. The final door opens, allowing you to walk up to your friend and complete the rescue.
