In the distant past the universe of X-Blades was ruled by two powerful beings, the Enlightened on the side of good, helping his people how and when he could and the Dark One who was quite the opposite. Both were revered by all peoples and a balanced, but never-ending battle between the two persisted for centuries. Humans suffered terribly in the constant combat between the two, combat which shook the universe to its very core. In order to ease this suffering, the Enlightened banished the divine power of the Dark One, imprisoning it in a stone, known as an Artifact, but at a price. Inseparably linked, where one of the divine beings went the other was bound to follow and so the power of the Enlightened was captured in a matching Artifact. Together the two were hidden away and peace, as well as balance was restored to the universe. But peace is a fragile thing. It is said that any human who comes in contact with the Artifacts will be cursed and the power of darkness will once again be awakened.Enter the game's heroine Ayumi. As the game begins a map which has been lost for countless years suddenly turns up and it shows the location of the artifacts. Unaware of the curse, the adventurer Ayumi searches for and finds the immensely valuable stones, releasing powerful forces in her body. Her goal and the player's is to discover what the secret of the curse is, free herself from it and at last defeat the darkness. Characters
| Ayumi Ayumi is a charismatic heroine and fearless treasure hunter. Now that the map with the Divine Artifacts has been found, she's going on the most thrilling and dangerous adventure of her life. As always, she prefers to work alone - partners just get in the way. | |
| Jay Jay is an adventurer like Ayumi. He rescues her from a deadly trap and attempts to support her in her fight against the Powers of Darkness. Jay is skillful in combat. He uses powerful explosions of light and his punches have to be seen to be believed. | |
| The Enlightened A powerful being who guards the Artifact of Darkness, as a Master of Magic, he uses spells to hurl opponents to the ground and metes out massive damage, but avoids close combat. The only way to defeat him is to use black magic and/or fire magic. | |
| The Dark One The Dark One is the guardian of the island - he conceals the Artifact of Light. Even the most powerful spells hardly affect him and only a strong blow with a blade can break through his defenses and affect him in any way. |

X-Blades Delivers What Promised
What did X-Blades Promise? An action packed, fast paced, hack and slash style game, with a gorgeous main protagonist and the gorgeous scenery that surrounds her.
If you've been following/researching this game at all, you should know exactly what you're getting into when you buy it. I found this game to be everything I wanted and more. If you enjoy fast paced, hack and slash action with a little magic to mix things up, you'll really enjoy this game.
The story, well it's okay, it's definitely not bad, it could be better, but that's definitely not why I bought this game. The game provides plenty of action and customization. You earn Soul Points and spend them on new magic and upgrades (much like Devil May Cry). The levels are well thought out, and so are the enemies. The soundtrack is great, the game looks very pretty (including a very pretty main character if you haven't noticed already). And sure, I could compare it to DMC, GoW, Heavenly Sword and the bunch, but to be honest, this game has a very different and unique style, and although it draws a few parallels to the aforementioned games , it's definitely a game of its own. I definitely recommend picking this one up, it's not too short, not too difficult but still a challenge (especially pro, once you unlock it).
Make sure you give this game a couple hours before you judge it, it starts a little slow and the combat feels awkward, once you play for a few hours, get more magic, and really get a feel for how the game is played, you'll find yourself unable to put your controller down.
X Blades a Hack and Slash Review
I just bought X Blades and played the game last night and here is my opinion of the game so far. It starts off a little slow you find out your a treasure hunter named Ayumi who works alone you find this cube puzzle and when your turning in this crystal skull to a merchant you see a matching puzzle. She notices another cube puzzle while the guy is looking for a price on the skull the cubs connect and make a dark portal and she fights the creatures taking the merchant with them. The cubes then turn into a map and you start off on level one. It teaches you the basics which every game does and when you can learn a new move it will also inform you of it.
The story could use some work to me but I do like how it just jumps into the game right away. Now I am the hack and slash kind of guy pretty much what each level looks like is a big area where you fight multiple of monsters or creatures. The boss fights also have a lot of enemies around them. The fact I like a lot about this game is that you can use spells and guns its nice because they only cost RAGE which you get from attacking enemies with swords or they attack you. To get your spells you need to kill the monsters and if you get multiple attacks on many enemies without being hit you then get a bonus and you receive more souls for the creatures you kill.
The Souls you receive are for the certain spells you can get as in ice arrow, transformations, coating your blades with fire or lightning. You can also use the souls for health or a full rage bar the higher the level the more souls you pay to use these. You also need to look for artifacts they are hidden in breakable items such as tombs, urns and so on. The artifacts come in pieces of 3, also there are 3 of each type. 1 to upgrade you weapons and weapon damage, 1 to upgrade you spell power, and 1 to upgrade your gun shooting and damage.
The Graphics to this game are amazing in my opinion again and I did like to see all the amazing scenery. I also like how you can set your skills to certain control buttons and customize the control how you mainly want it. I also liked all the music that played while the fighting took place as in techno and some rock and roll I really like that aspect of the game as well. There is some lag when fighting multiple enemies at once but its not that bad and well worth this game.
I would recommend this game to anyone who likes Devil may cry and God of war even though you don't run through the level the fighting is exactly the same and you just hack and slash things to bits or fry them with spells.
Raid with Blades
Premise
*You play a young treasure hunter who discovers a special artifact that appears to consume her.
The Good Things
*With the exception of the cutscenes, which were made to look like cell-animated anime clips, the game has great graphics. Sound quality seems good.
*Gameplay is like a combination between "Tomb Raider" and "Conan." You spend your time exploring ruins and chopping up evil creatures with swords, guns, and magic. On top of all that, I love the way the character runs really fast.
*Controls are easy to use, and some of the buttons are customizeable.
*Level design is good. Each environment is split into levels that you can move back and forth through.
*The story is good.
*Characters are alright. The main character has quite an attitude that you will either love or hate. She looks great though, and much like "BloodRayne," she is...uhh...quite jiggly.
*Awesome music.
*Has trophies.
The Bad Things
*No multiplayer.
*Not for kids; rated M for bloody violence (although you can turn the blood off in the options).
*Even though it is easy enough to kill the hoards of monsters that come out at you, it can be a bit annoying when they gain up on you while you're trying to attack the boss monster.
*I think the cutscenes look kind-of gaudy. I am glad that the rest of the game is not rendered the same way.
I was initially worried about the wierd cell-animated cutscenes and the main character's attitude, but the gameplay itself turned out to be quite fun, and the graphics are good. If you're looking for a fantasy adventure with lots of intesne fighting, this should satisfy you.
