Question 1

Is Phantom Blade Zero a Soulslike game, or pure character action?

Phantom Blade Zero is NOT a punishing Soulslike. It is a fast-paced 'Kungfu-Punk' character action RPG emphasizing high-speed Wuxia combat combos, dynamic aerial juggles, and generous checkpointing.

Question 2

How does the 66-Day Life Timer mechanic work in gameplay and story?
