Players in the casual 3D action game Blade Hero take control of a stick figure who also happens to be a proficient swordsman. To complete the level and free the hostages, you must use his sword prowess to chop through the adversaries.

Your sword is razor-sharp, and you have outstanding swordsmanship.

The mechanism is really straightforward. Up until a villain blocks his way, your character will automatically move through each stage. When the action slows down, you must swipe your finger across the screen to use the sword to slash the monsters before they jump on you.

The game does not spare ghastly details, even though there are instances when you will need to strike the enemy multiple times to cut him down.
