X-Blades has visual charm, but the grind of monotonous combat soon starts to wear thin. The longer you play it the more you'll hate it.
X-Blades is a single-player Fantasy Hack and Slash game with anime-style graphics and a captivating soundtrack, following the heroine Ayumi's journey through 40 magical levels, fighting hordes of monsters with pistol blades, magic spells, and acrobatics. Despite its pretty visuals and good music, the game is marred by poor gameplay and a heavy emphasis on grinding. Overall, it provides a humorous, action-packed experience for fans of the genre looking for a light-hearted adventure.
