Evaluation
Bladed Fury launched on December 17, 2018 as a complete, standalone action game. The developer shipped several small patches in the weeks following launch (December 2018 through January 2019) addressing bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements. The only DLC ever released was the Original Soundtrack, which shipped on February 19, 2019. Since then, the developer's Steam news posts for this game have been sparse and unrelated to Bladed Fury itself — the most recent relevant post (September 29, 2020) was simply an announcement for a different NEXT Studios game, Crown Trick. There have been no announcements of additional content, no unreleased DLC on the store, no roadmap, and no developer statements indicating further development plans for this title. The game launched as a finished product and all post-launch activity concluded by early 2019.
Evidence

About this game
This is a classic Chinese fantasy 2D action game, based on Chinese history, mythology with a dash of surrealism in the mix.
At the beginning of the Warring States Period, Tian, an officer under Duke Kang of Qi, set a trap that killed the Duke, exiled Ji, the younger princess, and put Shu, the elder princess, under house arrest. This event established the Tian family as the ruler of Qi.
Ji tried to seek justice, but failed repeatedly. During her journey, she encountered ancient deities like Hou Yi and Jingwei, who helped her obtain the powers of Soul Slivers, and eventually returned to the Palace to finish what she started.
As the dust settled, Ji realized this was the beginning of a new world...
- Unique art style with mysterious Chinese elements.
- Fluid combat experience and style that's easy to learn but difficult to master.
- The Soul Sliver system adds depth and changes the pace, making combat more exciting.
