Overview and Gameplay
The Warrior’s Moon prophecy drives a brutal weapon tournament against the DemonLord. WeaponLord is a side-view one-on-one fighting game where armed warriors rely on timed slashes, thrusts, strikes, blocks, counters, and special techniques. Story Mode follows one fighter through the tournament, Arcade Mode allows character switching, and Versus Mode supports competitive battles.

- Defense: directional blocking and Thrust Blocks can reverse momentum during close fights.
- Advanced play: combos, Death Blows, and Death Combos reward skilled execution.
