Blade Kitten Takes Side-Scrolling Platform Gaming to a Whole New Level
From Steve Stamatiadis, creator of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger comes this cell-shaded side-scrolling Action/Platform game that would make Mario, Samus, Link, Lara Croft and Sonic the Hedgehog wince in jealousy. Blade Kitten is the best game you've never played. In a desert of mediocre downloadable games, it's a lone oasis. Come and feast on the sweet fruit and drink of the cool water that is Blade Kitten
Don't let the title dissuade you from trying this game, being a human-cat hybrid is not without it's advantages as you are able to double-jump, multi wall-jump, run, backflip, pounce on opponents, slide-attack, grapple, heck you even get a blade that flies around and acts as a projectile weapon. Unlike most platformers, Kit is able to climb on and break through walls. This feature adds a new depth of adventure as you will constantly be looking at every nook and cranny for hex which are the currency that allows you to buy stamina upgrades, new costumes and new blades with varying attack purposes. While running through levels you might notice a foreground and background, when this is visible, you will find a portal to the background in that surrounding area. Along her adventure, Kit makes new friends with a rideable mount and a cute little flying friend named Skiffy.
The heroine of the story, Kit Ballard (voiced by Kelly Fuller), fled her home world during the genocide of her people and made a new home on Hollow Wish. One of the last her species, Kit works here as one of the best bounty hunters in the business. You'll find many side-missions throughout the game. During gameplay you will hear familiar voice-over veterans Jennifer Hale who voices Justice and Dave Mitchell who voices Hundert Tonne.
With 19 levels of non-stop action, Blade Kitten entertains for hours and hours and is a must-have for any Platform Gamer. At it's price $15, it's a steal. (Right now it's on sale at XBOX Live Arcade for only 600 MS Points). Blade Kitten is available on XBOX Live Arcade, Playstation Network and ($9.99) PC via Steam.
