It's beautiful and it's pretty smooth to play. Nothing incredible to note. I enjoyed my time with it for the most part.

First time I've wanted to recommend someone a game I'm sure they'd really like only to find out there's no real practical platform to play it on for the mere mortal.

I played this game when it came out on the Wii on 2009. Back then, when I finished I thought that was my favorite game of all time, but I never played it again since then.

So I finally took the chance to play it again but this time on this new version for the Vita, and I was curious (and worried) to find out if I will like it as much as I did before.

Turns out it is still peak!!! What a game, I just finished and I could played all over again. 14 years later and I still think this is my favorite game, I even think it is better than before, most likely because I can appreciate it better now that I'm older and have a little more experience with games.

But the question is, why do I like it so much?
Well for starter, the art style is beyond amazing. Every character, every enemy, every background, every sprite, every frame is a literal piece of art. I get happy just looking at the it.
The combat is very addictive once you get the hang of it, and the boss battles are the highlight of the game.
The story has that Vanillaware charm, with lovable characters and heartfelt moments, while using the Japanese folklore and mythology.
And the music just sealed the deal. The seamless transitions between area songs and battle songs makes traversing the world an incredible experience.

I know that this game is not for everyone, and I understand the complains that a lot of people have. But for me, this game checks all my boxes, and I have a weak spot for the Edo period as well. So yeah, best game!

I can't wait to start with the DLC. Hopefully one day we will see this game in glorious 4K!

Just saw the main two endings, game wasn't good enough for me to grind for the other endings


JUEGAZO
Diseños exagerados, estilazo visual despampanante, historias cruzadas de venganza y honor, combos aéreos vertiginosos... Es un juego espectacular recomendado para disfrutar por lo menos una vez en la vida.
Por si fuera poco, se añaden historias adicionales que añaden más cuentos a esta fantasía, para seguir dejándote el buen sabor de boca.
Ojalá le hagan un port a PC para que todo el mundo tenga fácil acceso a esta maravilla.

Primera experiencia muy positiva con un juego de Vanillaware. Estamos ante un Action RPG 2D cuya jugabilidad esta muy pulida y cuyo apartado artistico, tanto visual como sonoro, son simplemente sobresalientes y le sientan como un guante a la pantalla de PS Vita.

La jugabilidad, cargada de acción, y el sistema de combate con 3 espadas con habilidades únicas y hasta un total de 108 espadas para craftear, hacen este título muy variado y divertido al mismo tiempo. Nunca se hace monótono.

Buenas historias, tanto las dos principales del juego base como las cuatro más secundarias de los DLCs, que hacen que todo el conjunto sea muy compacto y sólido. Desde luego recomiendo jugar Muramasa y seguiré con más títulos de Vanillaware tras esta primera gran experiencia.

It's literally the Wii version, but the DLC made it better.
SO FUCKING CHALLENGING on Shura mode, and it feels perfect to control when you master the commands.
Also, the art is spot on and the story is motivating.

Like most Vanillaware games the 2D art is to die for, but there are lots of design issues: repetitive stages, pointless combat mechanics, a story that's given way too much importance... they should stick to adventure games.

Assim como todo jogo da Vanillaware, é lindíssimo, porém meio cru. Os níveis de dificuldade são bem 8 ou 80 e não fizeram muito sentido pra mim, além de ter MUITO backtracking. Divertido, mas faltou tempero.
