To quote Monty Python: "Run Away!" Seriously though X-Blades isn’t worth your money at full cost, might be worth a rental for some mindless hack and slash fun, but that’s about it. Read more
- +Cute girl running around in a thong
- Seems to copy many other games, Repetitiveness that gets old quickly, Gameplay is not that great, Funky camera angles that can results in death, Game just gets old quickly, Mindless and continuous hack and slash

I would have loved to have given a more in depth review of "X-Blades" however this is difficult as there simply is not much depth to the final game and what is written above is pretty much all you get from the game. Read more

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

The basic plot of good vs. evil can go way beyond the limit of the imagination if put into the right hands. Sadly this idea was placed into the hands of Gaijin with the disappointing result of X-Blades. Read more

Aside from the rapid-fire combat, X-Blades offers a bit of exploration and puzzling, but these elements take the way-back seat to the frenetic fighting. Read more

I can't even condone this as a guilty pleasure. Read more
- Spell and menu interface easy to use. The bestiary in the pause menu has all the enemies' weaknesses cutting down game time.
