I love how this game is practically just a showcase of incredible art, that just so happen to also be an action game. There are many points in the game where you have to run far distances while having to fight enemy encounters, but I honestly took this opportunity to look at the backgrounds and take in the incredible soundtrack that's just rocking traditional Japanese music but with a modern take. The story really works with the type of aesthetic that the game is going for, be that of a journey to achieve enlightenment with a new sword. It's nothing too groundbreaking, but it works in the context of the game's aesthetic and premise.

The was a big surprise to me for a game that's primarily a one button action fighter. Really helps that there are different blades that play differently with their secondary effect to make things refreshing. A lot of quick thinking is involved with this game where a lot of times you're constantly using the air slash or floaty jump to get around some hectic battles.

This game is goddamn awesome and absolutely worth it just with the game's art style on it's own.
