Just days before the highly anticipated release of the slasher game Stellar Blade, it faced a wave of criticism from professional reviewers, journalists, and activists. The game was accused of overly sexualizing the female protagonist and her revealing outfits. Some Western media outlets even docked points from their reviews due to this issue. However, Japanese critics have a different perspective when it comes to gaming. They value immersive gameplay and aesthetics, including the beauty of female characters.
Many Japanese publications were impressed by Stellar Blade. They praised its combat mechanics, intriguing storyline, and captivating music, resulting in top ratings for the Korean slasher. The portrayal of women in the game was also highlighted as a positive aspect of a modern, high-quality production.
Japanese critics believe that the character design in Stellar Blade truly accentuates the unique beauty of its female characters. Unlike other games that shy away from this, Stellar Blade openly celebrates the allure of its heroes, earning special commendation from the media.
Witnessing the stunning women crafted by Kim Hyun Tae in action is a visual treat, captivating the audience with its narrative, gameplay, and overall charm.
