The Android release will include a free Trials of Namazu update. Pre-registration is open on the Google Play Store. The developer did not provide a timeline for an iOS release.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloodless is a 2D action-adventure that follows Tomoe, a ronin who has sworn not to kill. Tomoe returns to her ruined homeland of Bakugawa to confront the army of her former master, Shogun Akechi. The game centers on counter-based, nonlethal combat in which players use precise timing, bare-fisted counters and Ki techniques to subdue and disarm foes.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combat emphasizes rhythm and timing. Players can combine Ki abilities, combo variations, Crests and herb infusions to vary approaches to encounters and enemy types.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trials of Namazu update adds a roguelike mode called Namazu&#8217;s Wrath. That mode places players on a shifting island, where they must fight waves of corruption and navigate changing terrain guided by ancient gods before confronting The Slasher, described by the developer as a physical manifestation of Tomoe&#8217;s violent past. The update also adds extra art assets and additional difficulty options.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mobile build includes touch controls optimized for phones, full controller support and an Assist Mode that offers adjusted difficulty and accessibility options. Visually, the game uses a retro-inspired 2D style and environments intended to support its storyline.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Point N&#8217; Sheep framed the Android launch and Trials of Namazu as a combined release. Players interested in the mobile launch can pre-register on Google Play to receive updates. Further platform plans have not been announced.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indie action-adventure Bloodless launches on Android Sept. 2, 2026, featuring counter-based nonlethal
