Critic Reviews
By Greg Wheeler
We've seen so many metroidvanias in recent years and Blade Chimera is certainly one that does a good job standing out in the pack. There's a great balance of platforming and combat, while the boss fights are easily the stand-out here. While it is a bit short in length, and the story is chock full of cliches and twists you'll see a mile off, the harmonized blend of combat, platforming and puzzling more than makes up for it.

With its meticulous attention to detail and pixel graphics, the game features a world set in a futuristic, cyberpunk environment that promises expansive adventures and non-stop action around every corner. It's a reimagined take on metroidvania-style gameplay. The relatively short playtime might be a drawback, but the level design is so rich with details that you'll appreciate every moment of your journey. If you're a fan of the genre, this game won't disappoint. Even if you're generally into action games, it offers a decent challenge that's well worth your time and investment.

Blade Chimera presents itself as a very fun metroidvania, with solid foundations and a good amount of content to explore if the player wishes.
