DESCRIPTION
X-Blades is an unflinching action game of fast-paced, choreographed combat strung along an animé-inspired storyline. The story follows a blade-wielding treasure-hunter named Ayumi, whose battle inhibitions are as scant as her outfits. Ayumi hacks, slashes, and shoots her way through nearly 40 color-saturated levels full of ancient secrets and vile demons, in a combo-driven style seemingly inspired by Devil May Cry or God of War. The game's combat system runs on rage: the more of it Ayumi has, the more special attacks and abilities she can perform. The easiest way to build up rage is slaying enemies. A different special power can be assigned to each of the main action buttons. In general, special powers are divided into the Light, which includes healing abilities, and the Dark, which includes the most devastating attacks. The game ends in one of two different ways, depending on the choices Ayumi makes. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“I'm truly happy to be done with this game. I just got the platinum this morning! Surprisingly it wasn't all that challenging... It's just the bad controls and bad camera that were the hardest thing...”

Is probably what every person that bought this game thought. I luckily borrowed it from my Grandpa and, through some severe teeth grinding, managed to beat it too.
You have your basic hack and slash styled game except the button mapping is so lazy and clunky that playing this game is damn near impossible. You have to click forward on the analog twice and click jump to do a roll! For the love of GOD do developers not even bother thinking when they design a game when a new console comes on the market? Just rush it and sell sell sell right?
Do not buy this game, do not play this game, avoid the whole mess altogether. I got to play it for free! Even then it felt way too damn expensive... Oh well, I'm stuck playing this for the platinum though as I'm 4 trophies away after one agonizing play-through.
Can't say I didn't warn you all!”

“This game is garbage in my eyes... A literal plague... Terrible controls that actually make a very patient man like me throw little tantrums... I don't have anything else to play right now though,...”

“I'm not impressed... This game is very clunky and it seems every time I hit a button something different happens. I hit jump and she rolls, I hit fireball and she charges magic, I hit earthquake and...”

“.........WASTE OF MONEY, don't think I can review it any better, u shouldn't buy it even if it were in the bargain for an Abe Lincoln (and I'm referring to the penny not five bucks), actually you should be paid to play this game....IT'S THAT BAD......However, if you're trophy whoring, this is a super easy platinum.....that's the only purpose this game serves”

“All aspects of this game lack polish, from the control (jumping is a disaster) to the mash-fest that is combat. Combine a cookie-cutter premise, amateur voice acting, and a scantily-clad female protagonist, and you have this little gem.”
