In Bleak Sword, progress through nine chapters, each containing compact diorama battlefields filled with enemies like bats, skeletal knights, and ghouls. Master the controls: swipe to dodge, tap to parry, and hold then swipe to attack. Conserve stamina to avoid vulnerability. Collect items and level up to boost strength and defense before facing guardians. The Castle of Despair, introduced in Update 3, adds 10 new levels and a boss fight against the Bleak Sword’s creator.
