X-Blade Review

[futuredesigner2]

You are this girl (I can't find her name) who by putting two artifacts together was able to obtain a map. And this map leads to a relic that some god has bestowed all of his powers of light and darkness in because either he was tired of using them, or someone is looking for them; either way, the girl wants it.

Now, as far as I know from playing a demo of this game from PAX, the game originally came from Russia, and was imported here so it could be reworked. Now that doesn't mean that it's good.

The character is really Britney Spears attitude, which is kinda annoying, and I am seeing way too much treasure hunting in video games now a days, I'm getting sick of it(what happened to voodoo? I want another voodoo game!).

Anyways, the camera is...not fixed, but rather confusing; it tries to show you where the enemies are, and most of the time, your just switching between enemy after enemy(it's a good thing these enemies are diverse, and fast, makes a good pace for the game). The music is very Dynasty Warriors(4 or 5), both good and bad.

Basically, it's a button masher, but you do lock on to targets, you just have to look at them, and attack. And it has a magic command, but you need some experience breaking jars and statues. But some of the magic is cool, like different forms(dark and light), balls of energy, sparkling swords, teleportation, ray's of light(basically small sun), and other cool spells. And depending on which spells you like the most, depends the outcome of the game. And the graphics are cool.

Still it's kinda mediocre. But if you really want a action game, I'd give this one a rent at least.

3 out of 5
