No one should really be surprised Blades of Time is a bad game given it’s a spiritual successor to an even worse game.
It is however a shame the developers didn’t figure out how to do much better than 2009s X-Blades. The most surprising thing about its follow-up is that it exists at all.
Blades of Time launched 10 years ago today, and has been all-but forgotten since. That's a shame however, as it had some interesting ideas.
I actually enjoyed what I played of the (prequel, I think?) X-Blades. It had some really rough edges, but what was there was quite fun to be fair.
It's an okay game, not the best, but not the worst either. I found that the game got annoying towards the end, especially that final boss fight. But hey, compared to X-Blades? Blades of Time is a huge improvement. Just look at the cover art!
Blades of Time was a mess of a game in 2012. In 2019 for the Nintendo Switch, it hasn’t seen many, if any upgrades. You’re better off skipping this game.
Why anyone would buy this on a system that has access to Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 i'll never know.
This was a mediocre game that was not well received and never sold well. Humble Bundle even had it for a $1.00 at one point. Let's remaster it for Switch? Why?
Blades of Time is a title that most won't remember from the Xbox 360 and PS3 era of consoles. It's an action oriented platformer that didn't get a ton of attention during its initial release.
Worst demo I've ever played...this game doesn't know what it's trying to be.
I like how the reviewer compared it to Bayonetta, because Bayonetta had plenty of things going for it besides a vixen for a female main character that helped set it leagues above games like it, its (spiritual) predecessor and Onechanbara.
