Review of Blade Chimera for Nintendo Switch

Blade Chimera, brought to us by PLAYISM, Team Ladybug, and WSS Playground, delivers an exceptional Metroidvania experience that’s a must-play on the Nintendo Switch. Let’s dive into what makes this game stand out in our detailed review.

In Blade Chimera, you step into the shoes of Shin, a demon hunter who awakens without a single memory of his past. He finds himself paired with an unlikely ally, Lux—a demon capable of transforming into a sword. It’s a peculiar partnership considering Shin’s demon-hunting profession, but Lux proves invaluable. Her versatility allows her to unleash attacks, provide shields, and even morph into a platform to help you reach previously inaccessible areas. This adaptability becomes crucial as you navigate through a futuristic cyberpunk version of Osaka.

When you fire up the game, control of Shin is intuitive: move with the left analog stick or D-Pad, jump using the A button, and unleash your primary attack with B. The Y button is for your secondary attacks, which vary depending on your gear. Dodging is crucial, mapped to the L button, while your equipped skills, powered by MP, are triggered with the R button.

Lux, mapped to the X button, is central to gameplay. She can attack, form barriers, transform into larger objects when time distortions permit, or even become a platform on walls. Utilize her to grapple onto points for platform puzzles or to recover HP by taking down foes.

As you conquer demons and bosses, you’ll gather experience, leveling up to enhance your stats, allowing for stronger attacks and improved defenses. Scour every corner for items to boost your max HP and MP.

Money flows into your pockets with each enemy defeated, crucial for stocking up on essential supplies like a Life Elixir, Energy Drink, Miracle Mix, or Turbo Regenerator. Invest in new weapons or gear to amplify your power, or generate extra cash by selling what you don’t need. Keep an eye on HQ for lucrative side missions if you’re strapped for cash.

Leveling grants Skill Points, unlockable anytime by accessing the menu. This is where the Metroidvania allure shines, requiring strategic unlocks to advance. Skills like the Air Dash, perfect for dodging and leaping, or the double jump for reaching greater heights, become vital for progression.

To summarize, Blade Chimera is a captivating Metroidvania experience on the Nintendo Switch, with players stepping into the role of Shin and teaming up with the shape-shifting demon Lux. Explore this cyberpunk world, collecting experience and money to beef up your character, and keep an eye out for rare drops that can enhance your journey. Rich with engaging gameplay and valuable mechanics, Blade Chimera is now available for $19.99 on the Nintendo Switch.
