[b]Introduction :[/b] Développé par Gaijin Entertainment et sorti en 2009, X-Blades est un hack-and-slash à la troisième personne où l'on incarne Ayumi, une chasseuse de trésors armée de deux épées-pistolets, dans un univers gothique/fantastique truffé de ruines antiques. [b]Ce que j'ai aimé :[/b] [list] [*]🎨 une direction artistique gothique qui a un certain charme visuel pour l'époque [*]🔫 le concept des épées-pistolets qui permet d'enchaîner tir et corps-à-corps sans interruption, sympa sur le papier [/list] [b]Ce que j'ai moins aimé :[/b] [list] [*]📷 une caméra capricieuse qui choisit toujours le pire angle possible et rend les combats illisibles [*]🔄 un level design répétitif où revenir sur ses pas oblige à refaire tous les combats déjà nettoyés [*]🗡️ le mode tir quasi inutile au corps-à-corps, ce qui casse le rythme dans la moitié des affrontements [*]🥱 une dernière partie du jeu qui te fait littéralement rejouer le niveau à l'envers, ennuyeux au possible [/list] [b]Conclusion :[/b] X-Blades avait une idée sympa avec ses épées-pistolets, mais tout le reste autour est bâclé : caméra à revoir, level design qui tourne en rond, et une fin qui te fait recycler ce que t'as…

Rating: 7.2/10 X-Blades is a fast-paced hack-and-slash action game that follows treasure hunter Ayumi as she battles hordes of enemies using a combination of sword combat, firearms, and powerful magic. The game emphasizes stylish combat, colorful environments, and character progression, encouraging players to unlock new abilities and improve their fighting techniques. While the story and gameplay can feel repetitive, X-Blades delivers satisfying arcade-style action with flashy visuals and accessible mechanics. Fans of classic action games looking for straightforward combat and over-the-top battles will find plenty of entertainment.

Fun slasher game with nice maps and models. Was a graphically impressive game when it came out, but the story's plot is kinda nonexistent. I still enjoyed playing through it twice c:

If nothing else, that's one hell of an outfit. This game is a straightforward hack-and-slash action game starring Ayumi, a treasure hunter armed with gun-blades and an arsenal of elemental magic. Its story is simple and occasionally confusing, but the real focus is combat. Gameplay revolves around arena-based battles. Each area is sealed until every enemy is defeated, after which Ayumi can move on or return to previous stages to collect items and souls, the game's currency. Combat is built around fast melee attacks, gunfire, and magic, with different elements proving effective against specific enemies. Ayumi can equip up to four spells at once, though frequently stopping to change them for enemy weaknesses can become tedious. To add some variety, the game includes collectible emblem pieces that improve Ayumi's melee, aerial, and gun abilities. Unfortunately, these additions do little to address the game's biggest problem: 'repetition' Enemies, environments, and encounters rarely evolve. Large portions of the game reuse the same areas with different lighting rather than introducing genuinely new locations. Enemy AI is similarly basic, with predictable attacks and occasio…

It pretends to be a game with an overworkd when it’s really just arena fight after arena fight. That’s not particularly bad in theory, but the combat is very basic. It feels more like a tech demo or like an alpha test that somehow got released
