The concept is familiar, but still addictive, and makes playing through the game as much fun as it is beautiful.īeautiful is hardly the word I would choose to describe Muramasa’s visuals. Collecting blades becomes an addiction, at least until you get towards the end of the game and realize that a lot of them are really just color swaps. Instead of keys or bombs you will collect various swords that can open up these barriers, thus making the world more accessible. Much like titles such as Metroid and the more recent Shadow Complex, Muramasa uses barriers to block off certain areas of the game from the player in the beginning. Either way you go most of the plot is confusing at times and downright incomprehensible at others, but it never interferes with the action.Įither way you choose the go the game does a nice job of creating a compelling argument to experience both characters even if the core concept is the same. Momohime’s story revolves around her being possessed by one of the most powerful swordsmen ever, while Kisuke follows the archetypal amnesia plotline. The main differences as you progress through are the swords they collect and the bosses they encounter. You can pick either Momohime or Kisuke, and for the most part their stories are nearly identical. The core narrative is split between two characters, and you have the option to play as either right from the beginning. Like MadWorld and several others before it Muramasa is not your typical Wii game, in fact it doesn’t even bother offering any type of motion controls, but what it does bring to the table is a gorgeous adventure that every Wii owner who appreciates classic gameplay should own. With their latest effort we get the same attention to detail in the visuals department with plenty of action and a nonsensical story to round out the package. Muramasa: The Demon Blade is the latest from the same guys that brought us GrimGrimoire and Odin Sphere, and it looks to match the same level of care of both of those titles. One of the most beautiful games ever created.ĭeveloper Vanillaware has become known for their vibrant art style and affection for old-school design.
