    6.9/10
    19 April 2009

    in short is a very simple game with very simple gameplay. Those that get their kicks from half-naked female lead characters have with Ayumi a new and tight toy and will no doubt enjoy the straightforward adventures and... Read more

    • No bullshit gameplay, Fun female hero, beautiful graphics and finishing
    • Not very original or inspired, Repetitive and a bit thin, Controls not perfect with keyboard

    By no means a terrible effort, but X-Blades has too many problems to ignore, especially with plenty of better alternatives available on each platform. Read more

    • Combat is quite fluid, Lots of enemies on screen
    • No sense of adventure, Far too repetitive

    X-Blades is another in a long line of "gorgeous-heroines-fighting-warriors-in-skimpy-underwear" adventures and, randomly, it made its debut nearly two years ago as a Russian game for the PC called 'Oniblade' before making it Read more

    • Excellent graphics and animation, Some tough monsters to kill, Ayumi is practically naked, Some cool spell attacks, Two different endings: Good or bad Ayumi, Improve your skills by finding artifact pieces, Bestiary diary p...
    • A clichéd, muddled good & evil plot, Can be repetitive, Poor targeting and button placement, No internet battles, Guns aren't really useful

    No matter if you have played X-Blades or you never plan to do so, one thing is certain: you have heard about Ayumi, the game’s heroine, a beautiful blond chick that probably has a very poor opinion on clothing since she Read more

    X-Blades is a beautiful, action-packed title with some serious flaws. It isn't really the kind of game you'll want to sit down and play for many hours on end, yet some of the repetitiveness can be remedied by putting the... Read more

    When I was first introduced to X-Blades, via a standard press release, I have to admit that I kind of glossed it over, as a generic hack and slash type game, with nothing to catch … Read more

    Hack and Slash games have been around for a while; even some classic video games like Gauntlet, Altered Beast and Castlevania could be considered part of the genre.  The premise of these games is to cut up opponents into Read more

    If the controls were a bit more friendly then X-Blades would be an above-average little action adventure with some tough bosses. The cut Manga scenes are very impressive to watch and the various spells can be quite... Read more

    This game is alright. When I say alright, I mean the graphics are great, storyline is so-so, but the overall game play is terrible. I am sure it was better on X-Box, but they deffinately left alot of room for improving... Read more or see product

    I named the title Mystery Meat because I do HARD price shopping for everything, and i found this game back in August for $19.99 (still have the receipt) and i think its worth that price. Read more

    • Mainly like the other reviews here, this IS a beautiful game. the animation and grafix are close to top notch. to me it plays like tomb raider meets Blood Rayne 2. *smile* Her outfits look sexier on a 40 inch screen though...
    • The first few chapters were great, but after wards i think the budget for crazy glue ran out because nothing stayed together after the trip down the mountain

  • Manufacturer's Description

X-Blades invites players into a fantastic universe where beautiful heroine Ayumi fends off imposing monsters and bosses with fighting tactics, spells, and her deadly Pistol Blades! Play over 40 indoor and outdoor levels set in dazzling words of color and detail. Non-stop action and vivid magical effects are impressively incorporated through the use of cinema styzling (for example, motion blurring).
