Bladenite (series)



Bladenite is a series of fantasy action-adventure games developed by Murphy Computing (later Murphy's) as first-party software titles for their game consoles, starting with the TLB2.

Its popularity lead to the creation of a TV series based on the first five games, as well as a mini-series based on Bladenite ZERO. Additionally, a cult following among Japanese players lead to the creation of an unofficial manga.

Synopsis
The Bladenite series takes place in the Kingdom of Metigon on the continent of Raful, and is centered around the adventures of the titular character, Bladenite, a well-known swordsman and mercenary who takes on some of the more dangerous jobs on the bulletin board of the kingdom's Mercenary Guild. He is also known, to the awe and envy of many, to be the wielder of the legendary sword "Starshatterer".
