Blind Katana: The Ember Keeper

Blind sword combat

Blind Katana: The Ember Keeper is a PC action game about a blind swordsman fighting to restore the Ember, a light once granted to humanity by the gods. A faction called the Darkest Hour reclaimed it and assassinated the Dawn, the people who opposed its plan. The last surviving Dawn hears the world rather than seeing it, and sets out with his sword.

Combat takes place in darkness. When an enemy’s foot hits the ground, the sound creates a flash that briefly outlines the foe. You use those moments to locate enemies and attack. Combos and dash attacks break their defenses, while guards and rolls help you avoid incoming blows and counter during openings. Fallen enemies can be finished with executions.
