Blade Kitten

[Lightslei]

So a relatively clothed anime style catgirl with pink hair, in what looks like a combat platform game. What drugs were people on when they made this?

Does this interest anyone? I mean I'd give it a shot, but it seems like it's for a really small niche of players :/.

Looks interesting but not my thing. I wouldn't spend money on it but I would try it if a friend offered.

People have their own tastes I guess. It just seems pretty generic to me.

Also, I'll embed the videos so lazy people won't have to click your links XD

Okay, I'll be the first to admit that I really like catgirls (and I mean really) but those vieos evoked only a raging sense of apathy. It looks boring and cheap. If it was done just a little better, yeah, I'd be interested. But no. Pass

Well, the fact that the big KROME logo showed up in the beginning solidified my feelings for both the trailers. They were the same people that made The Force Unleashed for the Wii very, very lackluster.

As stated, I too enjoy cat-girls, but this looks very shallow and boring. I most likely will not be purchasing it. It's sad, because it looks like it has a lot of potential.

EDIT: Ok, I'll admit, the graphics do look alright, but the gameplay seems so......samey. I suppose it might be worth a rent or so.

Doesn't look horrible, but doesn't look awesome to me either.

Best part about the videos was the (albeit same) music. It was good, and rather light hearted.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

as Arte Johnson would say "Very Interesting." i may give this a try.

This reminds me of Tales of Versperia. Oh Lord NO!

 

[Canid117]

Was anyone else disappointed that Wesley Snipes didn't show up?

 

[zombiestrangler]

Did this look like an updated version of Tomba to anyone else?

In terms of rendering, yeah it does, but other than that, I didn't see any resemblence.
What it actually seems to try to be resembling seems to be metroid (or any other number of sidescrollers these days) though the first video seemed to want it to be a hack and slash game, but that just made it seem worse since I almost immediately thought of it as X-Blades.

However, my first big reaction was "What." the same reaction I experience just about everytime something like this (or worse) comes from Japan.

Wow, that music got really old. I rather like cell shading when it's done well, but side scrolling is really not my thing.

Edit: Apparently it's an XBLA thing. For $15 dollars it doesn't look that bad. Might be worth keeping an eye on.

 

[Gigaguy64]

While a few of the trailers iv seen looked really dumb, the gameplay looks like a lot of fun.
Something simple and interesting to pass the time.

Plus its not every day that you get to play as a cute Cat-Girl who is actually wearing a Decent amount of clothes.

It will also be available on Steam. .

I've seen these before. A while ago actually. Were they ever featured in a news post on this site?

 

[infinity_turtles]

Looks decent I suppose, but then I'm a big fan of sidescrolling platformers. Platformers live and die on their controls and level design though, so no video is going to be able to tell me if the game is actually any good. I'll wait and see. Oh, and the animation seemed really good.

Wesley Snipes with cat ears...? Huh... as interesting as that sounds... I dunno...

I shouldn't have to explain a Wesley Snipes Blade joke.

 

[PurpleSky]

I'd play it, looks great.

Fucking devs need to make more games light toned and actually [HEADING=1] WITH MORE THAN 3 COLOURS [/HEADING]

 

[wooty]

I'm keeping an eye on it, seems to really speak to my inner child of the old 8/16 bit era, in a way.

 

[Judgement101]

It sorta looks like Prince of Persia with a fetishistic addition.

 

[tlozoot]

That looks...bad in my opinion.

That was also pretty awful music for a trailer. =/
