Stellar Blade generated excitement among players and critics alike, particularly because it promised an uncensored experience across all regions, including Japan. The game was marketed with a confident tone, emphasizing its bold character design and mature themes, complete with physics that accentuated its provocative outfits.
Fans were especially drawn to the mixture of visual appeal and gameplay, which includes engaging, souls-like combat mechanics. The promotional materials highlighted a protagonist who confidently displayed sexuality, which some saw as empowering—breaking away from typical Western standards of censorship.
