- Titan difficulty — enemies have more health and armor, deal 20% more damage, and boss fight timings are tighter

Other Improvements

The game follows Aran de Lira, the last warrior capable of forging steel, who explores semi-open locations, fights monsters, and crafts weapons alongside a young companion. The forging mechanic is central — material and part choices directly affect weapon performance.
Blades of Fire is available on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series.
