Review: While at first, you would guess Kingdom of Blades is little more than a clone of Fruit Ninja, but look a little deeper and there is a lot more individuality here. For a start, there are loads of unlockables. From hats to swords and a few other things that keep the game fresh as well as several game modes to keep you going. While it looks good and isn’t half as bad as many other Fruit Ninja clones I have played it still suffers from the same repetitiveness issues. It’s good for an hour or so but you will soon get bored of it and that makes the £7.19 asking price seem a little too much. So I would wait for a sale for sure.
