Here’s a few pictures and some details for South Peak’s upcoming 2009 title X-Blades! Soon to be released for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 platforms, as well as Window’s PC.

Through Strike:

Ayumi learned this from an old monk. It’s like Teleportation, except it combines that spell with a deadly blow. The Through Strike involves moving fast towards an opponent, piercing him through and through – then you find yourself behind your defeated opponent’s back. (Requirements: Teleportation + Sparkling Sword)

Piercing Strike:

The Piercing Strike isn’t just effective against airborne enemies – Ayumi looks good doing it!The technique is more or less like a teleportation leap combined with a hard blow. Ayumi once saw something like it in a monastery, where monks were in combat training… but she wants to perfect the Piercing Strike! (Requirements: Through Strike)

Monster Generator:

A technomagical device which teleports all monsters within its range to the location of Ayumi. Equipped with a powerful defensive magic and vulnerable only to blades.

The Fire Elementali:

The embodiment of Fire magic was born during the formation of the world, when the planet’s surface boiled with volcanic activity. Those who are unlucky enough to meet a Fire Elementali should expect to die from extreme burns. As with all Elementalis, they’re vulnerable to magic opposed to their own.
