Muramasa: Rebirth is a port of a game originally developed for the Nintendo Wii, but unfortunately it didn't get the attention it deserved from the public. However, the developers decided to give it another chance on the PlayStation Vita. Despite the Vita's lack of success, the game remains hidden and will probably remain so, which is a shame because it is an amazing game.

Muramasa: Rebirth is a 2D hack and slash game that takes place in a side-scrolling environment, featuring frenetic samurai sword fights that are an absolute pleasure to engage in.

The game's art is simply gorgeous, making it one of the most visually stunning games on the Vita. The graphics aim to simulate a painting, and the developers did a fantastic job of porting the game to a handheld console without losing this artistic style.

The story revolves around a woman villager who is possessed by a fighting demon, granting her incredible fighting skills. However, I must admit that I got a little lost in the middle of the story, and I think it was because I wasn't paying enough attention. Perhaps it was because I didn't find it as interesting as the game's amazing fighting mechanics, which kept me engaged until the end.

Even though I found the story somewhat uninteresting, it didn't make me feel like I had wasted my time. The game's incredible fighting mechanics are so much fun that I kept playing until I reached the credits.

In my opinion, Muramasa: Rebirth is a hidden gem. If you own a PlayStation Vita, I highly recommend giving it a chance.

If you hadn't played the dlcs I strongly recommend them, at times they are even better than the main game with small but focused stories
