What is this game:
With echolocation as my guide and the power of my fists, nothing can stand in my way.
Blindsight: War of the Wardens is a story-driven brawler where you play as Iggy Yin, a blind martial arts master with echolocation abilities. On a quest to recover a stolen family heirloom, Iggy must confront dangerous enemies and uncover the truth behind his father’s disappearance. Use fluid combat mechanics to chain punches, kicks, counters, and finishers, all while harnessing the power of your amulet to sense your surroundings, heal, and blind enemies with blasts of light. Face powerful bosses and prove yourself as a true warden in this epic battle for the Relic of Life.
