Modulate. Charge. Resonate.

The battlefield hums with power. Will you resonate or fall silent?

In Resonant Blade, sound isn’t just something you hear, it’s something you wield. At the heart of the game lies the Resonant Tones, a set of six unique frequencies that shape combat, puzzle-solving, and exploration.

[h3]Tune In, Strike Hard[/h3]
Atlas begins with three Tones, with the other three earned by taking down dungeon bosses. Each vibrates at a unique frequency, from the deep pulse of Red to the sharp trill of Magenta. Enemies, structures, and the environment all resonate with these Tones. By tuning the Resonant Blade to match their frequency, Atlas can cut through defenses, trigger hidden mechanisms, and uncover secrets buried in the world.

But Resonance isn’t just about combat. Scattered across Terra are Resonant Orbs, ancient switches, and hidden pathways all waiting for the right frequency to bring them to life. To see and hear these vibrations, Atlas uses the Resonance Scanner, highlighting objects in range with a color-coded aura and an audible cue. Some puzzles even require listening carefully to catch the right tone.

[h3]Unleash Triads - Sonic Finishing Moves[/h3]
Beyond matching tones, Atlas can harness their power through Triads, special abilities fueled by charged resonance energy. To activate a Triad, Atlas must gather three Charges—earned by parrying attacks or striking enemies with the right Tone. Different combinations trigger different attacks. For example, storing Red + Yellow + Blue unlocks Wave Blade, a cutting shockwave that rips through enemies. Each Triad has its own Resonance, so choosing the right one before attacking is key. With 12 Triads to unlock, six are tied to story progression, while the other six can be bought from Node47, a weapons engineer who deals in sound-based tech. In Resonant Blade, every fight is a song, every puzzle a harmony waiting to be struck. Tune in, match frequencies, and wield the power of sound itself.

[h3]More Resonant Combos Await[/h3]
With 12 Triads in total, we’ve only scratched the surface. Will you discover the hidden combo that unleashes Echo Slice or the rare defensive power of Harmony Shield?

Check out the new trailer for Resonant Blade, a 2d sci-fi action-adventure game where you harness the power of sound to fight an army of rogue AI Synths!

In Resonant Blade, take on the role of Atlas, an ex-scientist turned soldier, who takes up arms to fight after his family and hometown were destroyed by the Dark Synths. Using the power of the Resonant Blade, Atlas is able to modulate its sonic energy in order to bypass the Dark Synths’ defenses. From adapting your Resonant Tones to exploiting enemy weaknesses and syncing them for devastating attacks, your ability to listen and adapt is crucial in order to survive. Prepare to dash, parry and modulate in the battle for humanity as every fight is a symphony of strategy in Resonant Blade.
