Introduction:
X-blades is a fun Hack and Slash action-adventure game about a treasure hunter named Ayumi who stumbles upon the ruins she longed to find. After making it into the ruins, she immediately finds the treasure that she was searching for. Upon touching the treasure , a curse is cast upon her and so you must venture around the small ruins to get rid of this curse.

Playthrough 1:
You can start the game on whatever difficulty you want , Normal or Hard , I recommend Hard to better prepare yourself for the damage you will be inflicted with on Pro, but if you wanna go for it on Normal, go ahead because they both unlock Pro difficulty when you finish. During your first play through you can go for 920 , if you're playing it on Hard. Use this play through to get every achievement besides the two Pro achievements. During this playthrough make a separate save file once you have around 15000 souls and on that save file , purchase the dark spells for your dark related achievements. This should take about 7 hours depending on how well you can catch on to playing the game

Playthrough 2:
Nothing carries over on this playthrough, except your monster kills for your "Famous Monster Eliminator" achievement. Once you've unlocked Pro, you will get to choose from two armors to start with on Pro, More Defense or Regeneration, whichever fits your method of fighting. In Pro, you can just rush through all the stages, don't worry about artifacts or anything. Just buy your normal spells and proceed on. Keep in mind that in Pro you get much more damage dealt and whenever you buy items to heal the cost is double.

Conclusion:
I recommend this game for rental, don't waste your 60 dollars on such a short game. If you're a completionis , you will surely get your full 1000 .

    Easiest way to do this is to make a seperate save file during your main playthrough.
