PSVITA: Muramasa Rebirth: Review

Muramasa Rebirth: Review 

For those skeptical about buying the game. Binabawi ko na feeling $19.99 game lang sya. After playing through the first part of the game, Its actually good and feels built with quality unlike naruto games before for GBA and DS. I havent finished Momohime scenario yet @ 6 hours and I still have 2 boss' to go. So expect a decent 14 hours for both scenarios plus getting the diff endings. Youll also be able to unlock a different difficulty level when you finish the game which adds more hours and challenges for some. For gameplay all I could say is its good and responsive. Malambot sya /gg. Momohime slashes gracefully and slashing enemies is never been this addicting. I enjoy slashing ninjas over and over mwahaha. You can forge tons of swords and bring 3 with you every time. Since swords have different abilities you'll need the proper sword for boss battles to go on smoothly.

Its not your typical Castlevania or Metroid game. There are no puzzles, just straight forward events and inaccessible paths in which you'll need a particular sword to reach the next destination. Sadly, There's no "Dash/tumbling moves" to move from area to area. You'll be pushing that forward button(or jump which is slower for me) to run and to move to your next "recycled destination" and fight the same ninjas over and over. I don't care though. Its fun slashing ninjas and orc's.

Overall its great! The art, the game play and story are solid foundations for this game to win my 8/10 rating. Slash away!
