X-Blades is a fantasy action game starring the deadly Ayumi, a female treasure hunter looking for (obviously) treasure. To help her on her journey she has two trust gunblades; imagine if Squall could dual wield, and you'll understand how awesome the idea is.
Since Ayumi's weapon is inherently a gun and a sword, you're able to perform both melee and ranged attacks. In a faster-paced remix of Devil May Cry, Ayumi can seamlessly transition from melee to firing, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages."
