In brief: An anime-style, opulent hack n' slay spectacle for fans of entertaining action games. X-Blades creates a fantastic universe around the attractive heroine, who has to fend off innumerable monsters and imposing boss opponents with her power and tactics.

Action and magical effects are impressively incorporated through the use of cinema stylistics such as bullet time or motion blurring.
