Stellar Blade on PC: A Story of Survival, Strength, and Standing Tall

Stellar Blade is available on Epic Games | Steam | PS5

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 

Let’s get even more real. In the workplace, many women—like curvier Black women—face unfair scrutiny for having natural curves. Their bodies show well in everyday clothing, and instead of the focus being who they are when it comes to their individuality and their accomplishments on the job, there are examples of women being made to feel like they only “fit” into certain industries. This doesn't only apply to select women who judge them, and it doesn't only apply to women. That’s not inclusion. That’s discrimination. And it’s still happening today, even when it comes to natural Black hairstyles.

This isn’t just about gaming. It’s about the broader cultural lens through which we view women’s bodies. When a character like Eve is criticized for her shape, it sends a message that women with certain body types are only acceptable in limited contexts. Differences exist.

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!

Slicing Through The Hate: Stellar Blade

The Director of Stellar Blade, Hyung-Tae Kim, spoke to GamesRadar and shared his thoughts on the preferred look of the protagonist for the game. His words were translated as, “Honestly, when I play a game I would like to see someone who is better-looking than myself. That's what I want. I don't want to see something normal; I want to see something more ideal. I think that is very important in a form of entertainment. This is, after all, entertainment targeted for adults." In other words, this game is Rated M for Mature.

Stellar Blade is rated M for Mature!


Demetria Obilor

These are his words, he's the director of the game, and just like the designers of Bayonetta, Chun Li, Cammy, Lara Croft, etc. they have the right to have their characters look a certain way and... we have the option to support or not. The characters being offensive because they're deemed unrealistic, won't really result in any changes... and i'll explain why. We covered similar in the past regarding Bayonetta and her look. A number of people had a problem with her sexiness... and some tried to challenge it by saying their bodies are unrealistic. 

Fact, we don't look the exact same as people, and even if he doesn't see it as... normal, it's a representation of some women who have these figures. If they get represented, I think that's great, and... I have zero objections if women of various shapes and sizes get represented. Trust me, there are people within the Black community with shapes that aren't considered realistic and have even affected job opportunities... because someone felt a certain type of way. That's not cool at all, it's discrimination... so in the spirit of body positivity, let people represent themselves and show love to people of various shapes and sizes or it says without saying that... you're not welcome. News reporter, Demetria Obilor is a prime example of someone who was body-shamed by a hater, but she took a stand and got the support she deserved.

On that note: When you're preparing your first or next game... and you want to venture outside of what some consider to be the norm for game protagonists, represent well in terms of the game and I'm sure it will be well received. If not... it doesn't matter how the protagonist looks. Mad Moxxi's daughter from Borderlands 2 may be considered unrealistic to some, while others may know someone that favors her.

Now on to the actual Stellar Blade game!

Embark on the quest to restore Earth to humanity's grasp with Stellar Blade! This brand-new, narrative-driven action adventure for PlayStation®5 holds the fate of our species in its hands.

Earth, torn apart by enigmatic and formidable creatures, has been forsaken. The remnants of humanity have sought refuge in a distant Colony among the stars. However, now it is time for EVE, a member of the 7th Airborne Squad, to journey from the Colony and reclaim our planet from the malevolent force known as the Naytiba that has ravaged it.

EVE's objective seems clear-cut at first: eradicate the Naytiba and unravel the enigmas of the past amidst the ruins of human civilization. Yet, as she confronts the Naytiba one by one, she discovers that her mission is far more complex than anticipated. Nothing is quite as it appears...


Now, let us delve into the character of Eve.

Hailing from the off-world Colony, where the remnants of humanity seek refuge, EVE's arrival on Earth is met with catastrophe. The 7th Airborne Squad's endeavor to reclaim the planet from the Naytiba is met with a sudden and brutal assault, leaving her unit in ruins.

Survival seems nearly impossible, but EVE's fortunes take a turn when a scavenger named Adam comes to her aid. Guiding her to Xion, the last remaining city on Earth, Adam becomes her ally in this perilous mission.

Lily, an engineer, known as EVE, is determined to carry on her task: eradicating the Naytiba entirely. Recognized as the "Angel" by the remaining inhabitants of Xion, EVE ventures into the hazardous region, unveiling its hidden wonders at every stride. As she progresses, it becomes evident that she confronts more than just a fight against a powerful adversary... Her convictions and everything she has believed in thus far are on the verge of being challenged.
