A girl, two blades, and a trail of dead creatures make up the world of this hack-and-slash game. If there's something to be said for straightforward hack-and-slash games that don't pretend to be anything else, there's a whole lot you can say about X-Blades, the upcoming action title from Russian developer Gaijin Entertainment.
In X-Blades you control Ayumi, a scantily clad treasure hunter whose perilous line of work requires mowing down dozens of critters with dual miniswords--dual miniswords that double as pistols, mind you. But the feature that really sets this game apart from others in the genre is the heavy focus on the elemental qualities of your enemies and unlockable attacks.
