‘Blade Kitten’ Hands-on Preview – Rrrarrrrrrow!

March 9th, 2010 No comments

Blade Kitten

With a name like "Blade Kitten" there damn well be a cat with a sword somewhere in this game. Worry not, there is! Developed by Krome Studios, "Blade Kitten" is a side-scrolling, platforming action game which stars a feline bounty hunter with a grudge and a hunger for cold, hard cash.

"Blade Kitten" is by no means a serious, thought-provoking treatise on social wrongs. No, you're running around, slicing robot soldiers, climbing up walls and collecting money. And that's where the charm of "Blade Kitten" can be found: Running around, doing seemingly basic actions, is a heck of a lot of fun.

While "Blade Kitten" features maps that have a specific beginning and end, there's a whole lot of variety in between. The game encourages you to explore, take alternate paths and find hidden switches to uncover caches of moolah. Exploration is easy as you can climb on just about every wall and ceiling, and for those you can't, you can always wall-jump to victory. Using combinations of jumps, wall-runs and slides will allow you to access locations that you would, at first glance, assume are inaccessible.

Finding these locations usually means you can find some hefty cash bounties, which can be used to upgrade your blade, unlock costumes or increase your stats.

On top of the emphasis on exploration, there's a tongue-in-cheek tone to the game which utilizes a playful anime style with a clever, snarky script. It makes for a heroine who is, within moments, likeable and relatable...despite the cat ears.

"Blade Kitten" is planned as a downloadable release. The game will launch sometime this spring in two episodes, with the first episode offering a slightly larger chunk to get folks addicted to the franchise. Definitely watch for it.
