Shadow Blade
FreeA rooftop assassin in a walled city. In each of three districts one noble must die. Climb any wall, run the rooftops and leap the streets; drop onto guards from above or take them from behind before they know you're there. Stay out of their sight, sneak, hide in the haystacks — and if they spot you, fight or run until they lose your trail. Kill the target, then slip out through the district gate.
Controls: WASD or arrows to run (relative to the camera) — run into a wall to climb it. Space to jump (or kick off a wall), Shift to sneak, F or click to strike. Drag with the mouse (or the right thumb) to turn the camera. On a phone: the left stick runs, and the buttons jump, sneak and strike.

How to play Shadow Blade
Shadow Blade is a rooftop assassin game set across three city districts. In each one a noble is marked for death. You climb any wall, run the rooftops and leap the streets, take guards from behind or drop onto them from above, then escape through the district gate.

Tips
- Guards see in a cone in front of them. A yellow ? means one is growing suspicious, so break line of sight or sneak away before it turns into a red !
- A strike from behind or from the air kills an unaware guard instantly. Once they are alerted it takes two hits, and the swordsmen fight back.
- If you are discovered, drop into a haystack or put a building between you and them. After a few seconds without seeing you they give up the hunt.
- Finishing a district without being seen earns a big stealth bonus, and the faster you reach the gate the more time bonus you get.
