help Blade Strangers FAQ

What kind of game is Blade Strangers?

Blade Strangers is a 2D crossover fighting game developed by Studio Saizensen and published by Nicalis. It uses a roster drawn from indie games and includes accessible controls intended to make fighting-game basics easier to learn.

Which indie characters appear in Blade Strangers?

The roster includes Shovel Knight from Yacht Club Games, Quote from Cave Story, and characters from games such as Code of Princess and Umihara Kawase. The exact roster differs slightly by release and later updates.

Does Blade Strangers include Cuphead?

The original Blade Strangers crossover roster is associated with games such as Shovel Knight, Cave Story, and Code of Princess, not Cuphead. Cuphead is therefore not a reliable way to identify the game's actual character lineup.
