"X-Blades" offers action-packed enjoyment in fantastic
Hack-and-Slash style. Using various weapons, spells and tactics,
the player must fight his way through many indoor and outdoor
levels, killing hordes of monsters on the way. The story,
exciting and rich in variety with numerous cut scenes not only
motivates the player, it also cleverly interlinks the individual
levels. Besides the `normal¿ monsters, there are also "Monster
Generators", which ceaselessly create new creatures (and of
course powerful Boss nents) for the game world. Hidden
Power-ups and coins ensure that the player is rewarded for
exploring a level. Some locations can only be reached by bold and
daring leap/jump combinations. The player will only achieve
success in the game if he makes use of the extensive system for
the further development of the heroine Ayumi - Experience Points
earned, for example, must be converted to Skills. There are
various Power-ups available to help the player as well, like
combat techniques, magic, weapon enhancement and teleportation
and the right mix will lead to success. Apart from that, the use
of skills on the "good or bad side" also affects the finale.
Depending on player actions, two different game endings await the
heroine Ayumi - and that in itself is a hook for players.

Story
In the distant past the universe of X-Blades was ruled by two
powerful beings, the Enlightened on the side of good, helping his
people how and when he could and the Dark One who was quite the
site. Both were revered by all peoples and a balanced, but
never-ending battle between the two persisted for centuries.
Humans suffered terribly in the constant combat between the two,
combat which shook the universe to its very core. In order to
ease this suffering, the Enlightened banished the divine power of
the Dark One, imprisoning it in a stone, known as an Artifact,
but at a price. Inseparably linked, where one of the divine
beings went the other was bound to follow and so the power of the
Enlightened was captured in a matching Artifact. Together the two
were hidden away and peace, as well as balance was restored to
the universe. But peace is a fragile thing. It is said that any
human who comes in contact with the Artifacts will be cursed and
the power of darkness will once again be awakened.Enter the
game's heroine Ayumi. As the game begins a which has been
lost for countless years suddenly turns up and it shows the
location of the artifacts. Unaware of the curse, the adventurer
Ayumi searches for and finds the immensely valuable stones,
releasing powerful forces in her body. Her goal and the player's
is to discover what the secret of the curse is, free herself from
it and at last defeat the darkness.
