Play X-Kaliber 2097 (Beta) Online
Swing a glowing sword in exaggerated arcs through cyberpunk alleys, timing each strike carefully—then suddenly you're jumping between floating platforms with synths blaring. Pure 90s anime grit.
X-Kaliber 2097 is one of those weird, late-era SNES games that feels like it was made by people who just watched Blade Runner and really wanted to make a cyberpunk beat 'em up. You play as Slash (yes, really), swinging this ridiculous glowing sword through waves of mutants and cyborgs in Neo New York. The controls take some getting used to—your sword swings in these exaggerated arcs, so you’ve gotta time your attacks just right or you’ll leave yourself wide open.
What’s cool is how the game mixes swordplay with these little platforming sections. One minute you’re slashing through alleyways, the next you’re jumping between floating platforms while some synth-heavy soundtrack pulses in the background. The art style’s got that gritty 90s anime vibe, all neon blues and deep shadows. It’s janky in places, but there’s something oddly satisfying about landing a perfect combo and watching enemies explode into pixels.
If you’re into obscure action games with a weird aesthetic, this one’s worth a look—just don’t expect it to play like Streets of Rage.
