In Stellar Blade, humanity isn’t just fighting for survival—it’s fighting for identity. Set in a post-apocalyptic Earth overrun by biomechanical creatures known as the Naytiba, the game follows Eve, a warrior from an off-world colony, as she descends to reclaim the planet and uncover the truth behind its fall. But this isn’t just another save-the-world scenario. It’s a journey of self-discovery, trust, and resilience
Eve isn’t alone. Alongside her are survivors who’ve carved out a fragile existence in the ruins of civilization. As she navigates the remnants of humanity’s past, she’s forced to confront moral dilemmas, forge alliances, and challenge the very systems that led to Earth’s collapse. The story is layered with themes of redemption, sacrifice, and the cost of truth—making Stellar Blade more than just a visual spectacle.
Before we dive deeper, here’s a gameplay video that showcases Eve’s combat finesse, the game’s stunning environments, and the kind of high-octane action that’s earned Stellar Blade praise:
The Controversy: Curves, Criticism, and Character Design
Now let’s talk about the elephant in the room—or rather, the backlash surrounding Eve’s character design. Some critics have taken issue with her curvier figure, sparking debates that echo the same tired arguments we’ve seen with characters like Bayonetta. But here’s the thing: body shaming under the guise of “progressive critique” isn’t progressive at all.
We’re not here to judge anyone’s decision to make changes to their body by way of surgery or to feel less or more than because of another person's body type. We believe that comparisons are the thief of Joy. I will go into depth a bit more in an episode of Blu + Gaming.
That said, what we do stand for is positivity. Women and men come in all shapes and sizes. Period. And when a game features a character with natural curves, it shouldn’t be met with hostility or low-key hate. It should be met with the same acceptance we claim to want for everyone. When it comes to certain costumes and things of that nature, this game gives you the option of choosing between costumes... and you can kick back during a people watching session and see all sorts of clothing options being worn in the real world. From the boardroom to the beach and everywhere in between. Dress codes are in place in some spaces, and it's bit more relaxed in others. The dress code is chose by developers unless the money talks loud enough for them to consider making a pivot (remember what M rated may include):
Real Talk: Representation Matters
So here at SDGT Entertainment, we embrace differences. Whether you’re slim, curvy, athletic, or anywhere in between—be the best “You” that you can be. And if you’re vibing with Stellar Blade and want to get the game on PC, enjoy!
