A demo for Konami’s new action title, Blades of Time, is now available on both Xbox Live and Playstation Network.
Blades of Time is a new action title that takes the ‘hack and slash’ genre and flips it on its side with a revolutionary new feature called ‘Time Rewind’. This feature allows players to clone themselves and travel back in time to attack enemies and solve puzzles.
As the gorgeous treasure hunter, Ayumi, players find themselves in a remote land of lush trees and majestic landscapes. On the hunt for treasure, she quickly learns she is not alone on this island.
Armed with dual katanas and an arsenal of rifles, she will do battle with gargoyles and various sinister forces to uncover the secrets of the island.
Blades of Time has the following features:
• Richly entertaining characters. From the young yet tough Ayumi to her wise and battle worn mentor Zero and more, this character-driven story has a unique charm, banter and mystery all to its own.
• Lushly designed environments. Experience huge and beautifully realized game locations, including snowy lands, jungles, ancients cities, temples and sky islands.
• Deep combat system. Unlock 40+ sets of skills, including melee, tactics, combos, as well as the powerful Order and Chaos forms of magic to defeat your foes.
• Special moves change up gameplay.
• Time Rewind allows Ayumi to turn back time and produce a clone of herself to help solve puzzles, tackle hordes of enemies, and more.
• All-new Dash ability means Ayumi can close the distance between herself and her enemy prey almost instantly, as well as travel quickly using environmental features.
• Play with a friend. Play co-op or versus in a special multiplayer mode.
Blades of Time is available for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 for $39.99.
