| Game Analysis | 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 | |

Hack ‘n’ slash with sexed-up heroine and dull design., There is a lot of action, a lot of monster slaying and a lot of Ayumi. Even though she is overpowered it is still challenging to defeat some parts of the game and some bosses. The music fits perfect with the action. The combat is fluid and there are various ways to lay waste on the monsters.
