Summary
Choose your bot: In this multiplayer game of whirling robot destruction, mayhem rules. Blade Ballet pits 2 to 4 players against one another in a battle to be the last bot standing. Do you like cats? Check. Do you like STEVes? Check. Catbot, STEVe, and eight other robots each have unique special abilities that you can use to slice and dice your way across hazardous battle arenas. Even the environment — lasers, falling platforms, giant pits of lava, avalanches, and more – becomes a powerful weapon you can deploy to dominate the competition. All this local and online multiplayer goodness can be yours. [DreamSail Games]

Critic Reviews3
While the visuals are appealing and the bots are full of life, I find myself a bit let down by the gameplay. It’s not precise enough to be a true ballet of blades as the title implies, and really, it’s too bad since the market has room for a top-down Nidhogg. On the other hand, it’s too precise to be a wacky laugh-with-your-mates brawler like Gang Beasts, which it could have done equally well. As is, it is a decent game within reach (in either direction) of being something much greater.

Despite the lack of originality on display, each mode is quite a bit of fun. Bringing a few friends over and throwing on a game of Blade Ballet is far from a bad idea. Actually, I dare say it would be a fine choice.

With a bit more content, Blade Ballet could have the potential to be another multiplayer classic, which is why hopefully we’ll see more additions to it in the future. As is, though, it’s still really fun, especially when combined with a few good friends.
