Blades of Time

Product Description

Play as the gorgeous gunsword-wielding treasure hunter Ayumi as she carves a path of destruction through a mysterious and dangerous island. While rich with bounty, the island is also caught in the throes of Chaos magic. Ayumi soon discovers that it is also the home of thousands of long-held secrets, including special powers and abilities that she can gain for herself. Using everything she can, she must find a way to defeat armies of menacing villains and a multitude of treacherous traps in order to break free of the possessed island's grasp. With a host of colorful characters, eye-popping visual appeal, tons of treasure and a huge variety of combat skills to master, Blades of Time will satisfy gamers' hunger for an entertaining yet deep action game that even gamers new to the hack-and-slash genre will enjoy.


  • Richly entertaining characters. From the young yet tough Ayumi to her wise and battle worn mentor Zero and more, this character-driven story has a unique charm, banter and mystery all to its own.
  • Lushly designed environments. Experience huge and beautifully realized game locations, including snowy lands, jungles, ancients cities, temples and sky islands.
  • Deep combat system. Unlock 40+ sets of skills, including melee, tactics, combos, as well as the powerful Order and Chaos forms of magic to defeat your foes.
  • Special moves change up gameplay. Time Rewind allows Ayumi to turn back time and produce a clone of herself to help solve puzzles, tackle hordes of enemies, and more.
  • Robust multiplayer options. Fire up a co-op Campaign or battle in PvP.

4.0 out of 5 stars You Can INVERT Controls on this Game, April 17, 2012
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Blades of Time (Video Game)
Unlike a prior reviewer stated, you can invert the controls for this game. In your Xbox system settings you can set preferences to the games you play. (invert or non-invert, analog sensitivity etc) As long as you have your preference setting in system to Invert, the game auto detects this and inverts the controls for you. (in full game only, not the demo, unless that has changed, doubt it.)

Now my review.
This game is a follow up to the game X-Blades, though it is not a sequel in anyway. X-Blades had some really nice ideas, but the general implementation was pretty poor. This game seems to address those issue and what you have is not a perfect, but a pretty fun game overall. The biggest addition is the rewind time power, this is not to like, rewind dying or accidental jump off cliff like some games. It is to be used more for some strategy based fights and some puzzles. To give an example: You come across 6 enemies, 3 grunts who melee and 3 ranged fighters. You start... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised!, July 4, 2012
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Blades of Time (Video Game)
A few years ago I played the demo to X-Blades (the precursor to Blades of Time) and thought it was a nice looking game but it didn't seem to have much of a story (I still might go back and try the full game someday). I just picked up Blades of Time last week and am only about 5-6 hours into the game, but I must say, it has been really fun! The graphics are well done, the story is interesting enough. The gameplay is solid and there are tons of combos and upgrades as well as hidden chests with interesting items contained within. Overall, for the price, you will be hard pressed to be disappointed. Easily worth $40! Oh, and its already been pointed out by other reviewers, but as someone who can only play games with inverted controls, the demo does not support inverted controls, but the full game does (at least if you have your Xbox default setup that way).

3.0 out of 5 stars Blades of Time demo review, July 2, 2012
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Blades of Time (Video Game)
I played the demo finally after weeks of ignoring the demo.It's a very challenging game when fighting boss mode,the regular enemies are good enough.Bosses require you to learn their weakness,or you ill keep dying repeatedly or take forever to kill them.The key is to use all your abilities to defeat bosses.The camera and motion takes about a good 2 hours straight to get use to.The graphics are not up to par with 2012,but good enough.There is a learning curve guys,learn it and you'll enjoy,if you like hack n slash,plus timing of your moves.
