E3 2011: Blades of Time Preview Hands-On

We destroy the very fabric of time in this unexpected sequel to X-Blades.

 

It's a cool mechanic that opens the door for all sorts of possibilities. Right now, we only saw the knight fight and another when we were overwhelmed by a swarm of enemies, but it will be interesting to see what happens in the final build. There was also an easy puzzle in which two people needed to stand on a pressure plate. It wasn't the best way to show off how this rewind ability can make you think, but it seems like there are all sorts of interesting possibilities. The only other time ability we saw in the brief demo was a time bubble that slows down enemy attacks when you stand in its protective shield. A neat idea, but we didn't see any inventive scenarios involving it yet.
