"X-Blades" offers action-packed enjoyment in fantastic Hack-and-Slash style. Using various weapons, spells
and tactics, the player must fight his way through many indoor and outdoor levels, killing hordes of
monsters on the way. The story, exciting and rich in variety with numerous cutscenes not only motivates
the player, it also cleverly interlinks the individual levels. Besides the ‘normal’ monsters, there are
also "Monster Generators", which ceaselessly create new creatures (and of course powerful Boss opponents)
for the game world. Hidden Power-ups and coins ensure that the player is rewarded for exploring a level.
Some locations can only be reached by bold and daring leap/jump combinations. The player will only achieve success in the game if he makes use of the extensive system for the further development of the heroine Ayumi - Experience Points earned, for example, must be converted to Skills. There are various Power-ups available to help the player as well, like combat techniques, magic, weapon enhancement and teleportation and the right mix will lead to success. Apart from that, the use of skills on the "good or bad side" also affects the finale. Depending on player actions, two different game endings await the heroine Ayumi - and that in itself is a hook for players. In Dec/2022, X-Blades HD was released that features updated graphics and wide-screen compatibility, as well as newly rendered and post processed cutscenes in Full HD. |
