X-Blades is een waardige actiegame, maar het mist de finesse die het speciaal had kunnen maken. De diverse strijd wordt te vaak eendimensionaal gemaakt, de indrukwekkende visuals missen variatie en de bazen zijn watjes. Desondanks is er genoeg lol te beleven aan het afslachten van de horden vijanden en met twee eindes en veel ontsluitbare items is er genoeg te doen. Ayumi weet dan wel niet hoe ze zich moet kleden, maar ze hakt zich een weg door de massa vijanden met stijl en als je kan leven met de saai omgevingen en soms oppervlakkige strijd, kan dit leuk zijn voor een tijdje.

Everything about X-Blades is mediocre. It works for what it is, and there’s some charm to the action and the characters, but the gameplay design is lacking in ingenuity; a notion that is perpetuated the longer you play. Some will be able to find more enjoyment with X-Blades than I, but most will likely wind up walking away before the adventure is over.

This game is exceptionally derivative and remarkably sub-par. The real problem though is that it is just not that much fun – and that is a problem that no game can recover from.

Mein Spieleabend war ruiniert und da ich kein Sadist bin, möchte ich euch X-Blades ersparen. Man muss schon ausgebuffter Hack & Slay Fan sein, um an dem stupiden Dauergeschnetzel samt belangloser Bosse und abwechslungsarmem Gameplay Gefallen zu finden. Und lasst euch bloß nicht von der leichtbekleideten Unschuld verführen, mehr als Brüstewackeln und Poporausstrecken hat Ayumi nicht zu bieten. Gleiches gilt auch für die gesamte belanglose Geschichte. Richtig erbost bin ich aber, dass sich die Entwickler bei unterschiedlichsten Genrekandidaten bedienten und dann trotzdem nur ein halbgares Produkt ablieferten.

Ne tournons pas autour du po(potin) pendant trois plombes : X-Blades ne vaut probablement que pour le fessier virtuel de son héroïne. Et encore, on n'imagine personne acheter un soft au prix fort pour quelque chose d'aussi trivial... (Rassurez-nous ?). Le reste aura tôt fait de vous plonger dans l'ennui : les combats sont trop confus, le scénario inexistant et les graphismes noyés sous une copieuse cascade d'effets bon marché.

“Haha, you bought or rented X-Blades, you idiot!” That should be the game’s slogan, because I swear I heard TopWare laughing at the sight of me playing this trash.

There's just something very derivative about this game. In fact, that's the best word for X-Blades: derivative. It just feels like somebody said "Let's make a game about a bunch of shit we like. Swords. Guns. Devil May Cry. Anime." It's a shame that they forgot to include the most important thing: fun. If you own a gaming platform that plays X-Blades, there is a 100% chance that that platform has at least four 3rd-person action games that are all leagues better than this one.
