Atari Europe announced today the release of Blade Kitten, the epic action adventure title starring Kit Ballard, based on the comic book series by creator Steve Stamatiadis.

 

Blade Kitten is now available for €11.99/£9.99 on PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE® Arcade for Xbox 360®video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and Windows PC Download at Atari.com and BladeKitten.com and Steam.
 
Blade Kitten marks the latest creation by Mr. Stamatiadis; the force behind the multi-million selling Ty the Tasmanian Tiger series. In Blade Kitten, a prequel to the comics set three years earlier, players are invited into the world of Hollow Wish where they take on the role of Kit Ballard, one of the best bounty hunters in the business.  With her pink hair and tail, Kit is part cat, part girl - and fully lethal.  As one of the last of her species, Kit commands her unique “Darque Blade” hovering sword to defeat enemies.  Also along for the ride is Skiffy, Kit’s laid-back sidekick who lends a hand in collecting items, solving puzzles, and when needed, serves as Kit’s protector.
 
Blade Kitten goes beyond most downloadable titles to deliver a strong narrative, with high-quality cinematics, and a colourful, frenetic visual style, that lends to the pick-up-and-play arcade action.  Players can jump right in and easily begin exploring and fighting their way through multiple levels, including three exploration levels with Noot (a rideable alien mount).  Blade Kitten features side scrolling gameplay mechanics, intuitive “scramble style” exploration, fully voiced dialogue, dramatic narrative and powerful visual direction.
