Eternal Blade: You Are The Weapon

Sacrifice the wielder to save the blade.

Explore an infinite procedurally generated dungeon as a sword whose wielders are replaced after they fall in battle. The player has the ability to drain health from the wielder to the sword, and, when a wielder falls, the run is continued from the start of the last dungeon. When the sword breaks, the player can choose to sacrifice the wielder for a full health boost; however, each run is limited to three wielders with different stats.


It's a bug! It's a feature! Try attacking enemies through walls or ceilings...
