Axe of the Blood God: An RPG Podcast

Xenoblade Chronicles X Switch Review, GDC Recap, and a Persona 4 Remake Wishlist


Listen Later

Living here in New LA, fighting villains from afar. You got to find first gear in your giant robot car.

The Xenoblade saga on Switch is now complete with the inclusion of Xenoblade Chronicles X (Xenoblade Cross if you're nasty). But it's been 10 years since the original release on WiiU; has it aged well? The very idea of video games "aging well" is a concept invented by tech-capitalists so don't ask me that. Instead ask "How much of the current open-world RPG landscape do we owe to it, do the gameplay elements designed for the WiiU transpose to the Switch well, and exactly how fantastic a game is it?"

All these questions and more will be answered by Kat, Nadia, Eric, and Victor on this interstellar episode of Axe of the Blood God!
