Developed by Gaijin Entertainment and published by Konami, Blades of Time is one of the latest hack-and-slash titles to hit the shelves. Blades of Time has definitely slipped under the radar for some; however, it is actually the successor to the action adventure, hack-and-slash title X-Blades. But is it any good? Let’s find out!
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.
X-Blades was the first title, Blades of Time was a sequel (with a very different look!).
Actually looks female, I almost forgot they did character designs like that back in the day.
Said the same thing myself. I run into lots of games nowadays that try to run as far away from what a female looks like (some games are even afraid to call them female in character creation lol).
Only it exemplified a problem that in turn got over exaggerated by social political exploiters.
Stop voting Democrat wolves in sheep skin.
And I'm a inter city black American by the time we realized it, it was to late and they Trojan horse that $h!t.
The only "problem" the game had was that its only real selling point was an attractive female.
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.
