    Cute is definitely the term to use in describing this title. There are several good things, a few bad things.

    First and foremost, is it fun? I would think so. The combat system is pretty basic in that essentially you are spam slashing your blade with not much sense of combos (though you could manually chain a few attacks for sexy results).

    First and foremost, is it fun? I would think so. The combat system is pretty basic in that essentially you are spam slashing your blade with not much sense of combos (though you could manually chain a few attacks for sexy results). The real fun occurs when you sprint forward and spam your attack button. I personally found that to be fun.

    The voice acting is good. The banter is a bit cheesy but that adds to it's casual charm. This game is definitely not for gamers who take things too seriously. It's not a deep dark story of grand epic proportions but rather a jolt of light and vibrant color that is unique to this genre I feel.

    Maps are massive and you can't really get lost. As long as you go forward, while there are MANY ways to reach the end point, they all pretty much point towards it. It can arguably be called linear or on rails due to this however you have to consider the fact that if it weren't, you would very easily get lost in these monstrously large levels and spend HOURS backtracking.

    That's not fun.    … Expand

    I for one am surprised by the bad reviews from the "professional" game reviewers. It looks like they're rating this game based on something it never set out to be. To me, a bad game is a game that fails at what it sets out to do, and Blade Kitten does exactly what it sets out to do.

    It's a fun casual hack and slash platformer with an adorable protagonist and cutesy characters in cell shaded levels.

    If this game looks fun to you just disregard the so called "professional" reviews. We all know most of them hand out good scores to anyone who pays them and can barely be bothered to even look at games made by anyone who doesn't, much less treat them fairly. The game is dirt cheap and there are a lot worse games you could spend $9 on.    … Expand

    Very fun platformer, with a lot of charm. If you like old-school 2D games like Strider, you can't beat it for $10. Kit is very agile and fun to control.

It's a $10 indie game with 2D platformer gameplay, and they are criticizing it for not living up to the expectations they would have for a $60 AAA title. Ridiculous. It's a great little 2D platformer, if you enjoy old-school gameplay you'll really enjoy this game. Don't let the negative reviews turn you off, at least try the demo on Steam. One side note- it has native 360 controller support, and I'd suggest using one. The controls are meant to be analog, using a D-pad or keyboard may feel floaty because of this. I love kb/mouse, but some games are meant to be played with a controller, and analog control is something a keyboard cannot give you.… Expand

    Blade Kitten is a great game for kids. My 9 year old daughter loves it. She says its cool. The protagonist has numerous outfits and weapons that are purchased with the currency accumulated during game play. She also has a small pet (like a dog) and gets to ride a small dinosaur (like a horse). Both of these creatures help her to complete the quest.

This is an action platform game that is devoid of blood, gore, and intense violence. The story, voice acting, graphics, and animation remind me of a cartoon series that my children watch called "Storm Hawks". If you have children that like to watch that show, then I think they will like this game. Blade Kitten is well priced and provides my kids with many hours of fun. It is definitely better value than some toys that cost much more only to get quickly discarded.… Expand

    This is a cute game, if you like anime and or side scrolling games. she has I believe 12 Outfits to change into and several different swords you can eventually buy with game progression. The voice acting is especially nice.

    I feel my 14.99 was NOT wasted.

    It is cute.

    I've played a lot worse, like Super Mario Brother Wii. The game style is cell shaded so it looks decent. Better than most modern games anyway, at least you can see where you're going and not get confused with all the brown.

    You buy your weapon upgrades and can earn money really fast if you just repeat a level over and over thus ridding the game of any challenge it might have originally had, The costumes are good and the main character is likable if you like **** and trust me when I say this, she is one of the most likable main characters I've seen... though I suppose that reflects badly on me.

    It's not perfect, the combat gets stale rather fast, I dislike having to start a level from the beginning to find everything but I suppose that is part of the challenge. The fact there are no lives also makes this game too easy, you die and go back to the last checkpoint and there are tonnes of them.

    If you're looking for a cheap-ish platformer with nice design, then buy this game. It's a lot cheaper than Mario 3 re-release for the Wii and looks about 20x better as well. For £7 you can't go wrong if you like platforming and as far as platforming goes, this is pretty much retro... ignoring the sword fights. If you remember The Lion King for SNES and liked the ostrich part... you're in luck my friends.    … Expand

Уровни интересно исследовать, по ним разбросано множество секретов, чтобы добраться до большинства требуется проявить смекалку и умение хорошо управлять героиней.

    Русского в игре нет, но есть средненький русификатор. Также в игру добавили карточки и достижения Стим, которые на данный момент способны окупить своей стоимостью половину стоимости игры! Так что всем тем, кто любит умные платформеры, БРАТЬ ОДНОЗНАЧНО!    … Expand

Графика в игре вполне сносная и вместе с музыкой прекрасно создают ламповую атмосферу игры. Отдельное внимание стоит уделить отличной проработки персонажей, все они очень хорошо запоминаются, а главная героиня Кит Беллард обладает особой харизмой, постоянно напоминая о себе няшной мимикой и разнообразными фразочками.

    Promising title slips into boredom and repeatability very soon and game-design flaws kill almost all the fun. Sweet title heroine and nice cut-scenes can't hide bad battle modes and camera problems. [Issue#197]

    Kit tries hard to win your heart, but sadly the repetition, disappointing controls and level design stop her from being able to.

    The tale is muddled and poorly executed, the action is unremarkable, and yet, for all its issues, Blade Kitten is still a playable game with enough sugary-sweet style to appeal to a younger audience – or indeed those with an interest in all things cat-girl.
