Project Ghost Unveils Dreamblade Class in Short Trailer, Explores Combat Mechanics

Dreamblade / You saw me standin’ alone / You cut a hole in my heart / Hope I was worth the XP. All right, maybe it’s not how Julie London would have sung it, but the Dreamblade class that Fantastic Pixel Castle’s Project Ghost has just unveiled will absolutely cut someone down. And use a very large sword to do it.

The very brief preview video offers a bit of background for the Dreamblade class, who are among the mightiest warriors of the Emerald Court, while also confirming that every class in the MMO has a specific armor type and wields a signature weapon; in the Dreamblade’s case, that would be a greatsword augmented with wild magic skills.

Additional information was provided in an interview with gameplay design director Brian Holinka, who provides a few tidbits about the MMO’s combat model. In summary, it will be a tab-target MMORPG with a limited action bar, however some skills will chain into one another, changing the specific action button in sequence. There will also be a special skill button used for a major attack, a dash button, and a counter button. It all reads a bit GW2-like.

More information about the Dreamblade as it stands is promised in a livestream scheduled for Friday, June 27th, at 2:00 p.m. EDT. For now, there’s that brief trailer below along with a picture that shows off its skills; click that image to embiggen it.
