Claws Out For Blade Kitten on XBLA This Month

Richard Walker

Blade Kitten is a side-scrolling platformer starring Kit Ballard, a sword-wielding, feline girl-type thingy who also happens to be a badass bounty hunter. Set in the lawless frontier of 'Hollow Wish', you'll slice through enemies with your Darque Blade alongside AI protector Skiffy.

Boasting 19 levels including 3 exploration stages with Kit's alien steed Noot, Blade Kitten is a cel-shaded mixture of platforming, puzzling and combat, which is coming to the Xbox Live Arcade later this month.

Check out the trailer for Krome Studios' and Atari's XBLA title, Blade Kitten, which has yet to be priced.

  • Was this initially for PSN only?
  • Okay, this looks strange, but like it could be fun, probably try this when it comes out
  • um, yeah... not for me.
  • A furry chick with a sword... yeaaah not something for me.
  • Why does the sword follow her in mid-air?
  • doesnt look too shabby, but not 4 me though lol
  • A furry chick with a sword... yeaaah something for me. It's a side scrolling game. Probably buy it if it's for 800mp.
  • i guess a 12 year old girl would like this
  • That really looks like a lotta fun. Will definately be checking out the demo when it hits the XBLM.
  • if its 800 msp, im sold! :D
  • Reminds me of Klonoa. Will try out the demo when it comes out.
  • Sounds interesting, but i'd rather wait for Dust: An Elysian Tale. That one looks very promising ^^
  • This looks pretty fun. Reminds me of the older PSX games. =)
  • will check the trial. hope its 800 points
  • @13: I was thinking the same thing. XD But yeah, looks like something a bit different (not a shooter). I'm game.
  • It will be 1200. It is already up for pre-order on Steam for US$ 15.
  • nice pussy
  • @18 nice. I'll try the demo...probably it.
  • I might check this out. Looks interesting to say the least.
  • @18 very nice
  • I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS SO IT'S STUPID Looks neat to me, definitely gonna buy it. Hopefully I have the money on release day.
  • Voice acting looks horrible. Story may be okay, but gameplay looks pretty fun. I'll give the demo a looksy. I'll probably buy this on Steam if anything.
  • Actually looks better than you think it would.
  • Well, if the game is even half-decent, that trailer certainly was poor. Definitely didn't sell the product. If Krome/Atari thinks it's worth 1200 points, they'd better think again & quick. Hopefully #24 is correct. But I'm not buying 1200 point games unless they're absolutely outstanding & worth that price point. Another "play the demo & long-shot maybe to buy if any good" action-platformy game.
  • not interested. im just waiting for comic jumper and crazy taxi for now. although i do find her purrrrrrdy hot. is it wrong for a guy in his early 30's to be attracted to a pre-teen looking pixelated cat girl?
  • IMHO I think the game looks interesting and might actually be a lot of fun since it hearkens back to the old school platformer. However, I don't know if 1200 MSP is worth it in the long run. I think I might get Serious Sam: The Second Encounter for the same price instead, but we'll see. This game may very well surprise and might be worth the steep price that Atari wants for it.
  • Been looking forward to this game for almost a year, can't wait to play it next week. Instant purchase.
  • Funny how sony fanboys were all happy with thier so called psn exclusive when it debuted on GTTV but developers knew that it would sell more on XBLA.
  • @26 lol I was thinking the same thing
  • i wanna see her kitty!
  • are the graphics a little different than the PSN version? or maybe I'm seeing things. might get it, but there are other things coming out that I want more
  • Will wait for reviews. While I like to support devs with unique ideas, this one is a little too bizarre.
  • as someone already stated . . . ill wait for 'comic jumper'
  • @1 - I think it might have been... this is the first I've heard of it coming to XBLA.
  • The price on Steam is 14.99 so I'm guessing 1200 points. Not set in stone or anything but yeah.
  • wtf did I just watch?
  • i was actually ganna get this game for steam but a rather get it from xbla
  • What the fuck just happened to my brain? This looks very strange...
  • It's just a rip off of Strider.
  • I didn't know that furries played xbox.
  • For those of you putting this game down for being "girlie", you best shut up, because this game looks badass! I always love a good heroine instead of a hero now and then.
  • @ #40 Strider? Really? Not only do I not see it, why go with a reference that isn't relevant to the last decade? Anyway, this looks interesting. I'll check out the demo for sure! Yeah, it stars a cat girl, but the Marvel vs. Capcom series has one too, and it didn't kill those games. To judge a game because of a debut trailer or its protagonist is ignorance at its best. Maybe it'll actually be a fun game! What a concept.
  • Looks wierd, i like weird so i'll try the demo first before i judge like the ignorant people out there
  • i spelled weird wrong...phooeeey
  • @8 12 year old girl my ass, I want this game!
  • Here I was all excited to kill things with a kitten. Conjuring images of a kitten with knives for claws or a sword tail thing. At least it looks orignal if not just plain old weird.
  • This is kinda cheesy... and lame... but i dont know. o.0 Might be worth playing. >.> Time to track me down a demo
  • i am unsure about this
