Blades of Time is a loose continuation of the action game/TPP X-Blades. Once again we take control of the treasure hunter Ayumi, who, however, does not resemble the same girl from the previous game. The authors decided to change the artistic approach to the project of the main character, who now resembles less the character from Japanese animation.

We land on an exotic island inhabited by strange and dangerous creatures. Among other things, we travel through mysterious temples, ice-covered areas, tropical forests and skies of the cities. We collect the artifacts left behind, solve puzzles and step by step we learn the mysterious history of the island captured by an ominous magical force.

Ayumi uses a range of weapons, firearms and magic to fight his opponents. A total of 40 different spells and skills can be unlocked. The biggest attraction of the Blades of Time is the ability to control time. The developer borrowed solutions known from the Braid game. So we can scroll back and forth a dozen or so seconds, creating up to six clones of the main character. A clone then performs the activities that Ayumi did before the time went back. The patent perfectly checks during the fight and when solving simple puzzles, e.g. when it is necessary to move several levers at the same time.

Nindie Spotlight: 4 / 10 by Justin Nation

With game series like Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, God of War, and more out there raking in consistent cash it’s easy to see why people would try to tackle the hack-and-slash adventure genre...

Time hasn’t been good to Blades of Time, and and other than for the morbidly curious, I can’t see anyone being masochistic enough to derive any value out of it.

Just Push Start: 1.25 / 5 by Grant E. Gaines

Blades of Time feels less like a loving remaster that we can now take on the go and more like a last chance at redemption. With frustrating elements, dated idea and less depth than a current Dynasty Warrior title, it's hard to understand who this remaster is for.
