X-Blades

X-Blades – PC Review

SouthPeak gambled on a barely clothed character, but that was everything: they did not try to add some depth to Ayumi, they had no intention to actually make her look good (really, she’s not at all as beautiful as I expected her to be) and didn’t pay too much attention to the story either.
