Blade Kitten

About

Blade Kitten casts you as a feline bounty hunter slicing through chaos on a volatile frontier world. You control Kit Ballard, a genetically enhanced warrior with a floating melee weapon that orbits her like a weaponized moon. The gameplay mixes platforming with over-the-shoulder combat as you chase targets across industrial ruins and shadowy canyons. Your main tools are precise jumps, the Darque Blade’s rapid strikes, and Skiffy, a tiny robot that doubles as a distraction tool or shield. Missions involve tracking down fugitives, dismantling rogue drones, and surviving ambushes in an environment where danger pops up from every angle. The game stands out for its sleek art direction and the fluidity of its combat system. Kit’s blade feels responsive in both quick combos and defensive maneuvers, and the level design encourages creative pathfinding. While the single-player campaign follows a standard bounty-hunter arc, the character’s sharp personality and the planet’s eerie atmosphere add depth. With a 72% critic score on release, it’s a forgotten gem for fans of agile action-platformers with a sci-fi twist.

Storyline

Welcome to Hollow Wish... On the surface, it’s your typical lawless frontier. Yet this mysterious shell planetoid is filled with dark secrets and cloaked figures. It’s here Kit Ballard, aka Blade Kitten, works as one of the best bounty hunters in the business. Don’t let her pink hair fool you, Kit is part cat, part girl, and wholly lethal. She is one of the last of her species, having fled her homeland after the genocide of her people at the hands of the ancient and mystical race known as the Darques. Kit has since made a name for herself rounding up some of the most deadly scum in the galaxy. With her unique Darque Blade hovering at her side and obeying her every command, Kit can cut through even the toughest rogue drone while hunting down soft targets to make the planet a safer place to live. Also along for the ride is Skiffy, Kit’s laid-back little sidekick who, when needed, serves as her protector.
