The Rebel's Blade is a 2D game that combines platform-based side scrolling action with a decision-based adventure quest storyline. Using a decision-based choice system, the user can influence how the story progresses and eventually complete the storyline and become victorious.

The user traverses a multitude of areas across the city where the story takes place, interacting with different characters, both good and bad and making decisions prompted by the game's narration and flow to direct them on how to progress in the story.

The target audience for this game is the casual gamer who loves fantasy settings and those who love their RPGs (role-playing video games). It is directed towards an adult demographic as the game will contain violence in the form of combat and will require good reading comprehension and understanding of the English language so a younger audience may not be suitable for this game.
