An authentic visual feast, particularly in the backgrounds, which are not only beautifully made but quite varied and well implemented. They look like movie scenes, they feel crafted, designed to have people dramatically fighting to death in them. Also, it manages to distinguish itself from the other SNK samurai fighting game franchise by being more sombre in tone, faster and more frenetic, and a bit more technically demanding. Brutally difficult, but that is to be expected. If I had friends I’d play this nonstop.
