Muramasa: The Demon Blade


This 2-d side-scrolling ninja theme game was amazing. A lesser known title for the wii but what it lacked in recognition it made up for in pure ingenuity.
The game features the stories of two ronnin and the adventures that follow. Even though it was only 2-d the art direction was wonderful, beautiful backgrounds with prominent images from traditional oriental designs and creative bad guys that include anything from ghosts to monsters, oni, and even the gods themselves.
The game-play does get a little repetitive but the ability to use magic and change between three sword styles makes the repetitive hack and slash much more fun. If your looking for a unique game with some of the best oriental art you have seen than I would choose Muramasa. I give the game a 4 out of 5. If you dont buy it than you should go and find someone who has it and befriend them.
